That’s funny that you call it Bastille day, we don’t. We just call it 14th of July or the National celebration. Le quatorze juillet, la Fête nationale. In fact, despite the story that it celebrates the Bastille it started as the Federation Celebration, a celebration of the unity of the French people on 14th July 1790. Of course, we had barely started our civil war called the French Revolution by that time (ended in 1799).
Having grown up watching The Adams Family on TV Arlo knows that woman can’t resist a man speaking French. Using the French tongue (Rouler un patin) will lead avoir une relation sexuelle.

JJ, Good play in panel 2… “Say” (C’est) Bastille Day, and Janis, says it… Arlo’s “French” went right over her head.

Cinco de Mayo, the battle where the Mexican army stopped the advancing France army. Stalled the conquest if Mexico by Maximilian.

Today is actually “National Nude Day” – Really, google it! I’m thinking Arlo is celebrating the wrong day

Cinco de Mayo is a bigger deal in the U.S. than in Mexico, and has a quite different significance: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo>

Bastille Day, when most years the French are disappointed yet again by a Frenchman NOT winning that day’s stage of the Tour de France :|
