The Québecois are champions for phrases like this: « il a été bercé trop près du mur », « c'est pas le pingouin qui glisse le plus loin » or « c'est pas le pogo le plus dégelé » 😂
The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

Here, let me Google that for you (threat)
RIP to the sentence “Here, let me Google that for you,” the single most useful clapback of the 00s and 10s, killed by Google becoming absolutely useless for discovering any correct information whatsoever

Very soon it will be lunar new year 🧧 & we will be entering the Year of the Dragon!

The 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac was one of the first series of prints I made. Here’s a detail of my dragon linocut on lovely red and gold Japanese washi paper. The character is ‘long’ for dragon of course 🐉
