I told this to some French speaking friends when I first found out a few years ago and they were totally non-plussed. Seems like only native anglophones enjoy this fact.

Then again, in France younger people might use the English word "cool" despite the fact it sounds like the French for ass ("cul"). Probably used to it.

Cool doesn't sound like cul, it's sounds like coule

Ah yeah you wouldn't say the L at the end of 'cul', right? Sometimes in English people don't make the L sound in 'cool' if they are trying to be particularly cool.

Ye, it's pronounced like Q. That's why toilet paper is often shortened to pt (papier toilette) but also to pq (papier cul)
