I have been accused of continually seeing the obvious that does not exist.
I didn't remember the translator's name, and so I had to look through five
different editions at the used bookstore until I found the one that matched the
movie. Brian Hooker's:
"Then, as I end the refrain, thrust home!"
Other editions had "I hit" and other such correct fencing terminology.
Only the Hooker had a sexual inuendo.
So, dear list experts, expatriates, and exporters of trivial knowledge, does
the original French line have the requisite sexual undertones?

"À la fin de l'envoi, je touche!" has zero sexual connotation.
But "C'est un cap. C'est un pic. Que dis-je? C'est une
péninsule!" could be used to describe anatomical parts
other than the nose.
