Question: Christine asks Roz if she ever hangs out at a tavern or café or a 'bwot' (I am absolutely misspelling that). Then Roz starts calling the strip club she frequents 'a bwot' as a running joke. I've heard the term on Frasier as well, but I can't google it because I have no idea how to spell it. What is it?
Harry Stone: Who's first, Mac? Mac: People versus Shibata. Harry Stone: To what do we owe the pleasure of Mr. Shibata's company? Dan Fielding: Well, sir, it seems Mr. Shibata was caught rolling for dollars with, um, these three rarely upstanding women. Harry Stone: All three? That's illegal. And quite impressive. Dan Fielding: When he was apprehended he had a fifty gallon drum of soy sauce and they were in the middle of something called a "Sukiyaki Slam-bam." Christine Sullivan: Uh, sir, uh, while neighbors in adjoining rooms did complain for over seven hours I believe that Mr. S... Mac/Harry/Dan: Seven hours?! [Mr. Shibata bows to Dan, Harry, and Mac and they bow back] Dan Fielding: My god, man, how do you do it? Mr. Shibata: Every day, I swim ten miles, eat one hundred oysters and sit in a barrel of pickle brine. Dan Fielding: [to stenographer] You got that? [Stenographer nods].
Answer: The word is "boîte." It's a French word and just means a small restaurant or cafe. "Boîte de nuit" would be a nightclub.
