Neuilly Yo Mama!
''Neuilly Yo Mama!'' or ''Neuilly sa mère !'' () is a 2009 French comedy film directed by . It stars Samy Seghir as a ''beur'' teenager who moves from the housing projects to the upscale neighbourhood of Neuilly-sur-Seine.

A word-for-word translation of the film's title is "Neuilly his/her mother!". The title is a play on the vulgar French insult ''nique ta mère'' ("Screw your mother"), in which ''Neuilly'' effectively serves as a euphemism. There is a sequel, ''Neuilly sa mère, sa mère!''

Ultimatum
An ultimatum (; ) is a demand whose fulfillment is requested in a specified period of time and which is backed up by a threat to be followed through in case of noncompliance (open loop). An ultimatum is generally the final demand in a series of requests. As such, the time allotted is usually short, and the request is understood not to be open to further negotiation. The threat which backs up the ultimatum can vary depending on the demand in question and on the other circumstances. The word is used in diplomacy to signify the final terms submitted by one of the parties in negotiation for settlement of any subject of disagreement. It is accompanied by an intimation as to how refusal will be regarded. English diplomacy has devised the adroit reservation that refusal will be regarded as an "unfriendly act", a phrase which serves as a warning that the consequences of the rupture of negotiations will be considered from the point of view of forcing a settlement. This opens up a va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
