i just thougth that all the translations of the word thursday should be changed as well
for jeudi (french word for thursday) I suggest "bidule" which meant that french thingites we'll be known as "bidulosites"

yes more or less
the exact translation would be "chose" but "bidule" is a funnier synonymous of "chose", it's one of the word we use in France when we don't know the name of something (or someone)
