Ooh La La

So a friend of mine recently had a hissy fit while playing a game of Scrabble on Facebook with me and resigned from the game. His reason? I played a French word. I can't even remember what it was now. I'm sure it was purely innocent, and given that it is a computer game, it would have had to be in the dictionary for the program to accept it. In my defence, here are a list of French words used in English which are not obviously French: ('Obviously' being something like 'cul-de-sac'.)

Agent
Blond/Blonde
Critique
Cuisine
Gauche
Souvenir
