4S’occuper de ses onions (take care of your own onions)
This onion can be taken more literally. If everyone takes care of their own onions, it means they aren’t getting into anyone else’s business. Same goes with this saying, you mind your own business and you don’t go around sniffing around other people’s business. Does it apply to the famous soupe à l’oignon, a delicious French food?
5Raconter des salades (tell salads)
There is so much you can say about salads…To tell salads means telling lies. So, if you think about it, it makes sense that telling salads means you are saying lies since salads don’t mean anything. Like a salad, there are a lot of ingredients in lies: some true things, a lot of false ones.
6Être sur son 31 (be on your 31)
Why 31? What is so important about this number? Some say it comes from the word trentain which is a very luxurious sheet or it could be because, on the 31st of July, novices would receive new cassocks to celebrate a Jesuit celebration.
