1 thought on “Season 4 – Episode 37 – Coffee Break French”
I just finished listening to lesson 4:29 in which the idiomatic phrase “piquer du nez” was discussed. Mark couldn’t think of any English expression that was the equivalent but one did occur to me that might be close (or close as we could get): faceplant. I admit that it generally applies to violent unintentional falling on one’s face but that’s the best one I could come up with.
