This is when foreign languages are fun and full of surprises !
Today, I picked 3 fun expressions in this category :
1) “Tomber dans les pommes” meaning “to faint.” Literally, though, it’s “to fall in the apples.”
2) “Raconter des salades” meaning to tell lies, with the implied meaning of talking bullshit (excuse my French 😉 ) OK, literally it says “ to tell salads.”
3) “C’est pas tes oignons !” meaning “it’s none of your business!” Literally, it means “it’s not your onions!”
