I learnt the meaning of the word companion.
It was while we were living in Paris. I was coming home from work and, as we usually did, I went into the local bakers to buy a baguette to eat that evening. But the lady serving refused to sell me it because, as she said, my "copain" had already been in and bought a baguette. I was amazed that she had noticed me, or my wife, let alone the fact that we were a couple (we hardly ever went to the bakers together). But she had and, as somebody pointed out to me later, she truly understood the meaning of the word "copain".
