Lehaut Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Road sign "Nid Poules en Formation" pot holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I'd been meaning to look up the term for pot holes as a part of my driving lessons. So, thank you for providing that answer Lehaut. What an odd term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menthe Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Not just for pot holes, for other holes in the ground too. For example, when I am walking with my French friends and someone wants to warn of holes in the ground, they say attention, y a des nids de poule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menthe Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Lori, I was only thinking of a joke that used to do the rounds. Question: what is the difference between true love and AW? AW is forever.... Perhaps this joke doesn't translate well.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I think I've heard it before. I'm sure there is a slang French phrase for it somewhere. I'd have to ask my daughter, but she is in London to celebrate her birthday. Back on the 16th, so I can ask her then. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'll get a real hoot out of the question, no doubt. And, I suspect, the answer might be 'what the He** Mom, I have no idea !' If she actually knows, that could be even worse !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
