So easy. It īs a fancy name for rodent roadkill, consisting of the rat (or flattened rodent in question), and queue, which is tail in French. It really should have been pronounced rataqueue, but the chef who invented this dish was eating with his mouth full, and it was hard to hear what he was saying. The slogan of his restaurant: You kill em �, we grill em �! |

Let me tell you the story of this word.
There was a mother with a 15-year-old son.
We all know that this is a difficult age group, and this mother was going throught it all. Drinking, hanging around with the wrong crowd, swearing, missing school - all of it.
But what topped it off was that one day her offspring returned home with dreadlocks - he had spent the morning at the hairdresser īs instead of going to school.
Now this poor mother had tried really, really hard to rear her son well, to put some respect, discipline and good language into him without losing her sense of humour (the latter proving to be the most difficult, for it was her third child going through this difficult age, and it seemed to be the most difficult of the three).
When she saw her son coming in through the door with the rasta look (dreadlocks) she felt like screaming
RASTA ???? - WHAT THE %&!%&/~~@%&§§!!! DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?
But this mother was so keen on setting a good example even in times of crisis and exreme emotions and had implored her son so often to cut out the swear words (pointing out that most letters in the four letter words were consonants) that she
- stopped dead just in time
- cut out all the consonants
- avoided the rush of swear words that came to her mind
and came out with the word RASTA, a hiss ("q" ) and a string of vowels that avoided the swear word consonants ("uoue") followed by a helpless groan ("re") upon which she limply went into her bedroom, locking the door behind her and wishing she had never had children.
P.S. She stayed in bed for the rest of the day.
