french expression of the day:
"𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗻𝘀 à 𝗻𝗼𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝘀"
literally, "let's get back to our sheeps"
While the English say "let's get back to the matter at hand," the French say "let's get back to our sheeps" 🐑.
This expression comes from a medieval French comedy, La Farce de Maître Pathelin (c. 1456), where a merchant gets deceived in the selling of both a sheet and a sheep. When the trial begins, the merchant confuses the sheet and the sheep in court, and an exasperated judge, who only wants to focus on the sheep, exclaims: "Let's get back to our sheeps!"
The expression quickly became popular and is still used today to express getting back to the matter at hand.
