French Language Logic
Buying saucisse and saucisson at the marché this day, the vendor corrected the gender I was using. The saucisse are long and thin are feminine, he expained. The saucisson, short and squat and decidedly phallic looking are masculine. I chose UNE saucisse de canard, long, thing and good although the U saucisson de sanglier covered in herbs would have been good too. Using memory tricks certainly helps remember gender.
