minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink14•1 month ago On ne peut pas avoir le beurre et l’argent du beurre (We can’t have the butter and the butter’s money) This one would be the French equivalent of “You can’t eat cake and have it” Tomber dans les pommes (Falling in apples) This is an expression to describe fainting Tailler une pipe (Carving a pipe) Give a blowjob
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 month agoI only just realized the pun inside “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Most people complain that it’s a pointless idiom because if you possess a cake, you are likely able to eat it. Having cake is another way of saying eating cake. It’s saying you can’t eat your cake and then eat your cake again.
