Bi-linguality

Today I was teaching the French mad English phrases - and asked people on Twitter to contribute too. So now they know "pot calling the kettle black", "catch 22", "technicolour yawn" and "having a bubble".

In return I have learnt:

"ce ne pas a un vieux singe qu'on apprend a faire la grimace"
(you would not teach an old monkey how to pull a silly face)

"metre la viende dans le torchon"
(put the meat in the teatowel - which means 'go to bed')

Donc.. Je dois metre la viende dans le torchon et bailler un peux parce ce qu'il est tard.

Bon nuit
