French-born Junior Aho joins Panthers with spirit of "continuer de frapper"

[Carolina Panthers]

The Nice, France native was introduced to the sport 10 years ago, progressing step-by-step in the sport. And his arrival in Charlotte creates a full-circle moment for him and a member of the scouting staff.

I have to assume "continuer de frapper" means something along the lines of "continuing to suck".

Good for him , he is guaranteed at least a practice squad spot now with the IPP rules.

keep on knocking is what i think it means. that comes from 54 years of not knowing any french. i took french for a semester in 7th grade and then signed back up for a second semester. the first day of class the teacher looked at me and said, "you really don't want to be in here.....do you?" I took the hint and left. i know when i'm not wanted.

I had to take four years of a foreign language in college. Graduating required getting to the literacy level. I literally read Don Quixote and wrote a five page later on it all in Spanish. I can't order a meal at Taco Bell these days. That was all useless.

In the article it said that is what Aho translated Keep Pounding to in French.

hmmm...interesting.  probably should have read it.

figured the 'continuer de' would be something like 'continue on' = keep on. it didn't make sense that he would be talking about a frapucinno (though i could understand it on a hot day and that's is where my mind went first for some reason). frap sounded like it would be someone knocking on a door. lucked out on that. 

.....or i googled it. 

i did essentially get kicked out of 2nd semester of french on the first day in 7th grade. teachers didn't like me much back then.  kind of a trend that carried on from 4th through high school in two different states.
