Language

Laurent had a way with words, and a way with making up words. He was a very elegant speaker who always knew what to say, when to say it, and how to deliver it to make it the most effective. He would also make up words or speak in english but use very french words that in english didn't really make sense. But because he was so convincing and sure of himself when he spoke, you would second guess yourself saying "it must be a word, Laurent used it". Such examples would be Solar cream (sunscreen) - and cartillage (pronounced Car-te-lawje).
