Joe Le Taxi by Vanessa Paradis taught me, or so I thought, that Joe was the French verb to hail a taxi.

I have a Romanian friend who arrived in Brussels and who confessed that she thought “halal” on the window was the butcher’s way to say hello.

Halal, is it meat you're looking for?

kurtsegers.bsky.social•31 days ago

I don't know why you say, "Goodbye", I say, "Halal”

I mean, Joe Baxi, right?

Vanessa Paradis taught me a lot more than that...

I've never gone back to check the lyrics, but the rumour was that it was about a cabbie who diddled kids.

Je joe: (I hail)
Tu joes: (You hail)
Il/Elle/On joe: (He/She/One hails)
Nous joeons: (We hail)
Vous joez: (You hail - plural/formal)
Ils/Elles joent: (They hail)

I reckon it would be a 3rd group irregular verb, just to make things difficult.

My mate wanted to call himself Joel E Taxi because of this. He should have.
