We'll just say laissez faire.
It's true.
And the poor French speakers, their ears are probably bleeding when they hear us say these, but this happens.
It's the same thing with Anglicisms in French.
We often will just say the word, but in our accent, right?
Exactly.
Laissez-faire policy, laissez-faire leadership or a laissez-faire approach, right?
Businesses will sort of run this way.
We can just give a couple examples, right?
The company's laissez-faire management style gives employees the freedom to manage their own schedules and projects.
Yeah, for sure.
So it's interesting.
You might hear this on the news or on a podcast.
Right.
And it's interesting.
Some every now and then you'll hear it just in regular conversation to mean sort of like live and let live.
Right.
Because that's more how we use it in French.
And everyone I will hear, maybe it's because they speak French, they'll just be like, laissez faire.
It means like, let them be, live and let live.
