Mononcle, what does it mean?
Mononcle should really be 'mon oncle' which means 'my uncle' in
French. But in Quebec, people pronounce it as one word, because
it's always 'my uncle', never just 'uncle'. It's so much one word
that when I was a kid, we use to say 'mon mononcle', 'my myuncle,
now that's a bit ridiculous. In France it would be Tonton Jacques.
Why Mononcle Jacques?
My real name is Steven Davis, I’m using the Mononcle Jacques name
because when I started racing online, I wanted others to know I’m
French and from Quebec.
Who is the real Mononcle Jacques?
Mononcle Jacques is well known in Quebec, current F1 racer Jacques
Villeuneuve has an uncle whose name is also Jacques, Gilles’
brother. To differentiate the two, Mononcle Jacques kind of became
his name.
He also had a racing career, he’s had a bad reputation being
jealous of is nephew and of hitting walls, and had a long career
racing ski-doo’s, in which he also had some mean crashes, he still
races ski-doo’s. Actually, he wasn’t that bad and something that
cannot be taken away from him is that he’s the first Canadian
winner of an Indy race.
