Any linguists who can answer this?

One of the the attorneys in our firm asked if I could find out the answer on this, because the term came up in a deposition: what is the etymology of the term "french exit" (which means leaving without saying goodbye). Can anyone give me some information on how this term originated? Thanks.

Fish oil

For a variety of reasons, it seems that adding fish oil to my family's diet would be a Good Idea (some of us have elevated triglycerides, some have depression, some are prone to eczema, and it would be protective for me for breast cancer, too). Since half of the family adamantly refuses to eat fish, I'm interested into fish oil capsules. What should we look for in choosing fish oil capsules--are there any industry standards we should look for, to avoid mercury or PCB contamination, etc? Any advice for finding it, in non-contaminated form, reasonably priced? Are you taking fish oil? Has it helped you?
