French term or phrase: je fais de la mao
This is in answer to a question about what do you do on the internet.

What is "mao" ?

Is it a website like facebook?
Is it something you compose?

I am not up to date on this sort of stuff, so all help is greatly appreciated.

  -> Many thanks 1045. Kind regards, Chris.

agree  philgoddard: If you google "faire de la mao", it's clear that this is the answer. I don't think you can disagree with someone because they post the same answer as you, though! I don't know why people do it.

  -> Many thanks Phil. People posting the same answer as me has sadly become the norm recently Phil. Only last week, I posted "colluvial soils" and "burnt resin" as answers and then someone posted the exact same answer - que faire... Kind regards, Chris.

agree  Sheila Wilson: = CAM

disagree  Chris Hall: I had already suggested this as its French meaning and then I gave my attempt at the English translation. This is the French-English forum, not the English-French forum. / I gave a French explanation as well writeaway if you bothered to look at my answer.

agree  writeaway: it's good to have a French explanatiion as well. Ignore the disagree. Apparently Kudoz etiquette is a thing of the past.
1 hr

neutral  philgoddard: A French explanation is fine, but it shouldn't be posted as a separate answer.
