the chance of bombing down the

He said it would be almost i'm

If the bridge were wrecked it still

The round bridge cables would be

suffice to cut all steel loose and let 1t
fall to the bottom of the gate. That

Some French Slang.


America has no monopoly on slang.
There are expressions that are used
every day whose meaning no die
tionary gives. You have to ask a
Frenchman to find out what they
mean. For example:
Monter a rechelle. Literally, ito
climb ladder" it actually means ito
take joke seriously"
Donner des coups d'epee dams l'eau.
Literally. ito give sword cuts in
water" it is used to mean doing
something futilely"
Lever ,e pied. ITO lift foot" that
is, Ito flee secretly"
Sc piquer lie nez. ITO prod the
nose" that is. Ito become intoxicated"
The expression crocodile tears" Is
Evening star., 1936-11-29

used exactly the same in French as
in English-larmes de crocodile. Prob
ably one of the oldest expressions to
an American, however. is this: "Etre
dams lie beaux draps." Literally, Ito
be within the lovely Sheets" to the
Frenchman it means Ito be in any
troublesome situation"
