A friend told me about a French guy he worked with who was rather paranoid. On one occasion, when meaning to say “They won’t get the better of me,” he somehow translated that in his head to: “They won’t stand on my nose, don’t dream.” Huh?

What a wonderful list of sayings. Such things that can be discovered when researching for writing! I also love “St. Never’s day in the afternoon.” Especially that it’s in the afternoon, because of course that’s even less likely!

Hilarious list!

And here I was thinking that that saying was used everywhere.

Goes to show how important research is!

Also it is weird and wrong that I looked at St Never and thought, hmm. Never is not a bad name for a boy.

I am totally adopting St Never’s Day in the Afternoon.

My children will hate me.
