Thank you, Rémy! I am learning French for the fourth time in my life and must be making better progress, as I understood a few of these before the translations! I love the poetry of these expressions.
Avoir le cul entre 2 chaises ... j'ai lu les 2 autres articles sur les expressions françaises je crois qu'elle n'y est pas....haaaa c'est un régal de se rappeler la beauté de ma langue maternelle 😂
Your explanation for the origins of "Faire la grasse matinée," is poetic: "...the delicious feeling of being as indulgent and luxurious as soft cream, unctuously dawdling in bed…" Wonderful!

Reading Marcel in the french. Collecting his phrasing. in my Marcel notebook...
This is wonderful. Thank you.
Love this collection. Indispensable!
I always LOVE these expressions and it feeds the writing muse. Merci!
I actually knew 2 of these! I’ll try to remember to use at least one new one this week…
Question: is there an expression for head in noodle booty?
Yes, it's "la tete dans le cul bordé de nouilles"-- don't try it at home!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would reveal my ineptitude at French if I tried any of these outside the confines of my house, but I do enjoy knowing about them!
There are so many! Please don't stop now.
