Quelque part ça me rassure de voir que d'autres collègues se posent des questions! Le truc aussi est que le vaccin nécessite deux doses à 1 mois d'écart, donc même si on se fait vacciner maintenant on ne sera immunisés qu'en mai. La plupart des cours seront finis (je sais pas si c'est le cas à RBS)

Une brève enquête étymologique nous révèle deux hypothèses concurrentes quant aux origines de l'association de ce terme au pain au chocolat. La première serait une déformation de l'anglais « chocolate-in » (« chocolat à l'intérieur ») héritée du temps de la présence britannique en Aquitaine au Moyen Âge. La seconde indique une dérivation, par apocope, de l'allemand <<< Schokoladencroissant », terme qui aurait désigné une pâtisserie proche de celle que nous connaissons aujourd'hui lors de son importation par des boulangers autrichiens des viennoiseries – d'où l'origine de ce mot à Paris. Il est en revanche plus probable que la popularisation régionale récente du terme << chocolatine » ait trait à l'influence du parler occitan qui comporte, dans ses différentes formes dialectales (gascon, provençal, etc.), un suffixe diminutif ou féminin en -ine (-ina ou -ino en occitan).

Le linguiste du Figaro qui explique dans un article que chocolatine pourrait dériver du mot anglais médiéval chocolat-in, sur fond de présence anglaise en Aquitaine.

Le chocolat.
En Europe.
Au Moyen Âge.

The most infuriating thing isn’t that Wales is treated as a non-country – it’s that we accept it | Will Hayward From the the Barnett formula to the humiliation of having an English ‘Prince of Wales’, you’d never catch Scotland allowing this treatment When you come to Wales, one of your first impressions is of how delighted people here are to be Welsh. Even those…
