In Quebec French, people sometimes say of someone who's not particularly bright:
"His mom rocked him/her too close to the wall."
It's just so... vivid and random.
Oh cool, we have a very similar one in German: "His/her swing stood too close to the wall."
Bizarre j'ai jamais entendu ça...
C'est bien connu en France:
Il a été bercé trop près du mur.
Mieux vaut tard que jamais pour l'ajouter à mon arsenal d'insulte 😁
Ça vient surtout du Saguenay!
I interpret that as is each rocking made him hit the head against the wall, with the corresponding brain damage... :)
Wait I've never heard this! so like
"Sa mère l'a bercé trop proche du mur"?
Yes, exactly! Or, "Ya été bercé trop proche du mur."
Amazing thanks!
A strong insult in french would be to tell that someone has been "fini à la pisse".
I don't know how to translate that but it would means that their dad did not have enough sperm so he used urine to conceive them.
