Cringe!Chickenlady winces, "I told a Hugh Grant/Divine Brown joke to my dad, pretending that Ms Brown was chewing gum so she'd be more American. Instead I just appeared to be still giving the blow-job. Even as I'm writing this I'm cringing inside."

lol the grammar police have fast carsI have no idea what the origin of the term is, haven't really thought about it. I've only ever heard "pas" sued in french in the form ne [something] pas. I assume it's just one of those bastardized phrases that has no particular relation to the mother tongue anymore.

You're right that it is the same in plural and singularBut I think my Dad once told me that it means falling over, in French, or something like that.
Although, this could well be wrong.

as inpas de deux, etc. A plural of it in French is determined by if it has "un" or "des/les" before it
Falloir is a modal verb, in english they are verbs that don't take "to" with them - should, must etc.
