Talk:drape

I'd like to know more about the sense in which this word was used in the film "Crybaby". IMDB has it as a synonym of "greaser"..?--128.115.27.11 23:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Tendre les rideaux

According to Google Translate, ‘tendre les rideaux’, which by rights should mean ‘stretch the curtains/drapes’ translates simply to ‘drape’. Could someone shine some light on this and perhaps add this translation to Wiktionary if it’s correct please?
