C'est bien cette même affreuse personne qui a chouiné pour que ses électeurs l'aident à rembourser sa campagne présidentielle de merde ?

Oldies but Goodies - French is Weird 03 - "Cows"
Cows - In France, we love cows. A lot of expressions have cows in them. Being tough on someone is "être vache" : being cow (Image of a cow telling Boulet "your coat stinks") - Also, a mean person can be "une peau de vache" : a cow's skin (image of Boulet wearing a cow's outfit and saying "screw you"). It would come from the fact that cows can suddenly kick you when you are behind them. "Un coup de/en vache" : a cow's hit, is when you betray or trick someone. (image of a cow kicking Boulet out of the frame) you can also say "une vacherie": a "cowerie" But more important: "la vache" is also a general exclamation you can use in almost any circumstance. (Image: Boulet is using "la vache" admiratively while looking at a painting, angrily while seing the price of a shirt, moved while recieving a present, painfully while waking up with hangover). VACHEMENT is a slang adverb that means "a lot", "extremely". It means "cowly" (Image of a very cool cow wearing a "cowly cool" shirt) In a totally different style, France also has a lovely way of saying it's raining a lot: IL PLEUT COMME VACHE QUI PISSE, which could be translated by: "IT'S RAINING LIKE PISSING COW" (Image of Boulet under the rain, saying "La vache". The clouds are shaped like utters and make "Moo" sounds) In the old slang, the french equivalent of "ACAB" was "MORT AUX VACHES": death to the cows. An anarchist rally cry, the cows being all forms of law enforcement (image of a cow in an anti-riot armor, being targeted by stones. The demonstrators scream "Boo" and the cow says "No : Moo!". It was an insult from the 1870 war: when the german were occupying Alsace, they had guard houses saying "Wache", meaning "sentinel". (image of a cow with a german helmet. Someone is saying "vache" and it answers "no, wache." In 1871, the police headquarters were moved to the center of Paris where the chicken market used to be. The cops became "Les poulets" : the chickens (Image of a chicken and a cow in uniform) There are dozens of other cow-related expressions in french, but I'll finish with two we sometime use in my region of origin (burgondy) When a place is really dark, you can say IL FAIT NOIR COMME DANS LE CUL D'UNE VACHE. Literally: it's black like inside a cow's ass. (image of a voice coming from a cow's ass, saying "Oh no, where am I?") and when someone has very wrinkly clothes, like "stayed up all night", I heard the expression "TU AS L'AIR DE SORTIR DE LA BOUCHE D'UNE VACHE" (You look like you came out from a cow's mouth). (Boulet coming out of a cow's mouth saying "ah shit, I'm late) Oh and if you stop by a market you can find "La Vache qui rit" (the laughing cow) It's a cheese that is so pasterized it could almost be american. This creepy french cow is famous all over the world!
