Voulez-Vous
French for "do you want"
Voulez-vous is French for "do you want" or "would you like," familiar to English speakers mainly from the phrase voulez-vous coucher avec moi? —a direct sexual proposition.
The ABBA song "Voulez-Vous" cemented the phrase in pop culture, lending it a disco-era flirtatiousness even when used playfully or ironically.
