Mot du Jour 7: something we will not see

The second mot du jour today is actually a jeu de mot.

The word is something that we will see in neither French nor English:

Vache.

In French, une vache is a cow. There are none of them in Paris, at least as far as I know, at least not in their full and living glory.

In English, v'ash is a verb, meaning to get your flight totally screwed up by an Icelandic volcano, which is something that could not possibly happen two years in a row, at least not in a well-ordered universe like this one, notwithstanding the fact that Keflavik airport in Iceland is in fact closed at the moment just as it was exactly one year ago this moment.

Neither form of the word will have bearing on our travels.
