Thanks everyone! :)How do you spell this word..lol i'm spelling soooo wrong it's not coming up in the dictionary?
Phrases in French:

coup de gr芒ce, pronounced koo de 伞ras = blow of mercy, or a finishing stroke or decisive event. ... however it is often mispronounced as an expression in English as "koo de grah"



coup de gras, pronounced koo de grah means "a blow of fat."
coup de gr芒ce



(make sure to have the circumflex over the "a" ; )

I think it also means, the final blow... but I don't know, I would pronounce the "s" at the end too...How do you spell this word..lol i'm spelling soooo wrong it's not coming up in the dictionary?
Coup De Grace. Circum whatever over the a. how do you put that there anyway??????
Coup de grace (cicumflex needed over a). Pronounced: Koo Da Grarse. A final blow. Literally stroke of mercyHow do you spell this word..lol i'm spelling soooo wrong it's not coming up in the dictionary?
The answer has been provided but, john, it's not pronounced "grarse" -- the poster had it right when they wrote "gra" (only so far as the pronunciation goes) -- it's from French, and the last part is silent.
coup de grace
