RÊVE À DEUX

This is one of my least favorite of the dictionaries. Not because it's poorly written or compiled but mainly due to the fact that I'm not a fan of foreign words or phrases interjected into spoken English. They sound pompous, ridiculous and out of place in common conversation, especially since the speaker is usually the only person who understands its meaning. Its usage in written form is another matter since perusing the dictionary while reading is hardly a social trespass. As such, here's one example from the book:

RÊVE À DEUX

rêve à deux (French): A mutual dream or shared hallucination. [noun]
