des hors d'œuvres vs des amuse-bouches vs canapés vs petits fours?!

In the US, one of the few French words that most of us Americans think we know is "hors d'œuvres"-- to us, it means appetizers. Yet, "hors d'œuvres" isn't an option in the context of a NY Eve party in France? I think of an "amuse-bouche" being something that is served between courses in an elaborate meal, a "canapé" is something on a cracker (savory biscuit), and a "petits fours" is a tiny cube of cake, frosted with a ganache and decorated daintily. Can someone please clarify?

Confused. On another site, I learned that personal pronouns are not used with body parts, ie les pieds vs mes pieds. What’s correct? Thanks.

Partitive articleIn this lesson I'd like to see something about why no article is needed on the thing that is missing. E.g why is "Je manque du argent pour payers mes factures" wrong?
