Minute23: Pourquoi tu fais le connerie?

The one with the Heinz tomato soup coloured tracksuit. Gemma rants about work and Jools rants about chip portion sizes.  We chat about robot synchronizer language, pronunciations from books and the derivation of words. Jools talks about renaming offensive terms in coding and uses the word vernacular not once but three times. In the minute, Charlotte is angry at Zoe (yes I know I'm mixing actor and character names) for taking the piss all the time (fais le connerie or is it la connerie I'm not sure) as Zoe comes up with some bullshit that they do for a living.

Note: the turtle reference actually shows Stephane is smarter than they think he is. Possibly the turtle or tortoise he is referring to is from Achilles Paradox; an argument attributed to the 5th-century-BCE Greek philosopher Zeno, and one of his four paradoxes described by Aristotle in the treatise Physics.  The logic argument describes a race between the fast runner Achilles and a slow tortoise. The two start moving at the same moment, but if the tortoise begins physically a little ahead, even though the tortoise/turtle is slower the logic argument states that Achilles will never catch up with him. The tortoise will always be a bit ahead and the gap can never be closed. And it's all because of continuum -  Eddie's in the space-time continuum, what he's doing there is anyone's guess.
