Nouveau means new (masculine case; the feminine is nouvelle)

So "new nouveau" means "new new"

Kinda like the Los Angeles natural history landmark known as The La Brea Tar Pits, which --when you put it all in English-- means "The The Tar Tar Pits"

I think you may be closer to it, Surge

Reason I say so is one of my Dunkirk books (I've got two) mentions that in the mad scramble to do proper record keeping, a French pleasure craft that joined in on the fun name of Ciel de Dieu ("God's Sky") wrongly got jotted down by the Royal Navy as Cul de Dieu --"God's @rse"

Sarah Star It's all relative, Floyd. Fulham gets Lilly Allen and Hugh Grant; Reading gets me and Wizard. :D
