The funniest words are undoubtedly the different spellings of the word "striptease," so we came across "striptease club," "strip-tise," "streap-tease," "chic striptease," and even "striptise paris"...

The name comes from the English strip, "to undress," and tease, "to attract attention."

Its former spelling is strip-tease, but the two languages merged: in English because the trivialization of this performance required a separate word, and in French due to a tendency to combine hyphenated words. The French equivalent is effeuillage, by extension of the word's original meaning: "The process of removing foliage that shades fruit in order to improve sunlight exposure and promote ripening." This latter noun gives rise to the verb "(s')efeuiller" (to shed one's leaves), whereas there is no verb corresponding to "striptease." The person performing a striptease is called a male or female stripper, or a male or female stripper. In English, it's written "Striptease" and the dancers are called "strippers." It is said that the first striptease in history originated in Babylon, but the use of the word "striptease" dates back to 1932. The use of "stripping" in English, as a verb meaning a woman to undress suggestively and arouse excitement, dates back to the 19th century. In French, the word "strip-tease" was used until the spelling reforms of 1990. Since then, the word "striptease" has become more commonly used, as has its synonym "effeuillage" (undressing). The dancer is commonly called a "stripteaseuse" or "effeuilleuse" (female stripper), while the masculine equivalents "stripteaseur" or "effeuilleur" are used for a man. And you, how do you spell "striptease"?
