French language Q&A Forum

There is a Canadian talk-show / competition show, called "100% Local", where four contestants from different regions of Canada tell stories of different people and places unique to their region of Canada.

In season 6, episode 3 of this talk-show (at about 16:25 minutes into the show), one of the contestants is telling the story of a historical criminal named Léo-Rhéal Betrand, who was handsome, charming, and became kind of a criminal celebrity in the eyes of the public. Here's part of what she said (taken from the subtitles) :

====

Il est encore arrêté, va encore en cour, remet son habit de Tuxedo Kid, et là, tout le monde capote sur son histoire parce qu'en plus, il est beau, il est charmant, il a tout, dans le fond, pour être une star, c'était une vedette qui a été prise dans le système judiciaire au lieu d'être prise dans le star system. Son histoire va se rendre jusqu'en Cour suprême, et finalement, il va être pendu à la prison de Bordeaux. Et il y a un historien de Gatineau qui s'appelle Raymond Ouimet, qui a écrit un livre à propos de Léo-Rhéal Bertrand, qui est sorti il y a quelques mois seulement. Et ce livre-là raconte toute l'histoire fascinante de ce criminel chanceux ou de ce chanceux criminel.

Questions:

2. Why does this contestant say both? That is, is it a subtle joke? Is it to sound playful? Is it a pun? Is there some implied content or attitude that is achieved by using this? etc

How come its Les yeux but mes bras? Thanks ???

Why can’t I say “Je le trouve grossier/irrespectueux?” As the sentence read “I find it disrespectful?”

referring to this sentence:

Et les au-revoirs qui n'en finissent jamais au téléphone.

How about "... jamais à l'appareil"?

I worked in a French-speaking environment where that phrase would often be used.

Since other French speaking countries use words like septante,octante and nonante it would be nice to mention them in the article. I get that you don't want to confuse beginners but acknowledging their existence for those that might have an interest into learning those alternative words might have been neat.

Not really a question and more like a suggestion.

The sentence starting with - 

Oui, le buffet est ouvert - 

Do you not pronounce the second syllable of buffet?

I'm not sure why but in this lesson, the examples I see are all in English. There is no French translation. Anyone else had this problem? I have seen it once or twice before.

What the best way to say "I will not go" in French
