It almost makes sense if he meant "wallah"

He didn't mean that of course...

It's actually "voilà" in real French... :P

Yep. And it's "per se" (Latin for: "in itself", "as it is") and not "per say" which doesn't mean anything at all.

Usually with loan words like this that are used enough, a spelling transformation is inevitable. I mean, I am sure voila itself is someone's pet peeve since its really "vois là". :)

I'd missed that initially; I'm amused that someone's gone all this time thinking "wala" is just a noise people make to indicate "done!"

Oh, that's what he meant.

Unless it's a wordplay, like Wuala(.com).

I was going to say the same... except it's "voilà"

Muphry's law strikes again!
