Heres my pick of the weird and wonderful and slightly mad French phrases…

- Entre chien et loup : (Lit. between the dog and the wolf) the time between day and night where – youre not sure which is which (it is hard to tell whether a dog is a wolf, or a wolf is a dog)

- Passer comme une lettre a la poste : (like a letter in the post) to pass smoothly, without a problem

- Tourner sept fois sa langue dans sa bouche- (lit. turn your tongue 7 times in your mouth) to think before you speak

- Mon petit crapaud (lit. my little toad) my little sweet-heart

- Tomber dans les pommes (lit. to fall in the potatoes) to faint/pass out

- Jai le cafard – (lit. I have a cockroach) Im depressed

- Jai la peche/patate (lit. I have the peach/potato) Im on good form

- Ca coute la peau des fesses (lit. it cost the skin off your bottom) it costs a fortune
