Gonna go on Countdown with the line “Dictionaries aren’t rule books, they’re record books” and fight Susie Dent.

Académie Française: <<Ahem -- pardon et moi?>>

You mean <<pardonnez moi?>>

"pardon et moi" means "pardon and me". "pardonnez moi" means "pardon me" (in a polite / respectful tense).

It still works, it can mean: sorry but how do I exist if it isn't a rulebook?
