It's funny how "delicatessen" in German is "Feinkost" and "double entendre" in French is "double sens". (Though sure, both world be understood in French/German.) Does anyone else know any other "loan words" which were not just loaned, but stolen?

Here in Quebec if you go to the northern parts where no one speaks English and m enus entirely in french except for the Hot Chicken. No one speaks English yet the Hot Chicken is there. Never order poulet chaud they will look at you weird.
It's not just Quebec... I've noticed "chicken" on the menu in Lyon in the last couple of days, though I don't think it was "hot". If I had wanted it, I would have asked for "poulet", so... lucky I didn't, I guess!
