French words in greek language

[ANNE23]

I never understand why greek language has many words that practically are from french vocaboulary like:
soutien, jambon, ascenseur, randez-vous, and others that now I dont remember...
From the moment that this board has many french and greeks, can someone please explain me why?

It's a secret !

Do you want to give me a "rendez-vous" in your private Athenian enema clinic for explaining why "soutien"(gorge? ) "jambon" or "ascenseur" are now greek words, dear ? Anyway "pornography" and many pervs names came from ancien greek too, isn't ? (^ ^) Edited July 11, 2007 by Tangerine
