🇫🇷 French expression of the day💤

« Une histoire à dormir debout »💤

🇺🇸 It means a “ridiculous nonsense story,” and literally “a story to sleep standing.” Originally, this expression was used to describe stories which were so boring that they made people sleep, even when standing. It then shifted to a story hard to believe by its nonsense.

« Mais c’est quoi cette histoire à dormir debout!? Je n’y crois pas une seconde! »

💤💤🛏

🇯🇵 直訳は「立ったまま眠るような話」で、絶対にありえない・信じられないようなばかげた話について使う表現です😴

Chokuyaku wa tatta mama nemuru youna hanashi de, zettaini arienai shinjirarenai youna bakageta hanashi nitsuite tsukau hyougen desu.
