I could have managed a literal translation by myself, but thanks.

"My dog ate my homework" is the old joke excuse; I was wondering if there was a French idiomatic equivalent.

Un jour, j'ai donné ma langue au chien, et il l'a mangé. Je pense qu'il est meilleur de donner la langue au chat.

Ow! It would certainly hurt worse!

No, you didn't get it! Remember: quand je donne ma langue au chat, je vois les autres...

I recognize the lyrics but I still think having your dog eat your tongue would hurt worse.

Maybe I still don't get it.

espire you know the idiom "je donne ma langue aux chats" means "to give up"; you can't be messing with idioms just so easily

You guys are so funny in your interpretations! I wasn't making a French idiom reference, I was making a Moi... Lolita reference! But yes, I knew what it meant too.

Et ces expressions sont les doigts dans le nez

Good day,

I am looking for copies of Actu Alizée.
Do you know anybody who sells them?
If yes,
Please email me (interpreted line)
Thanks

...

I think Actu Alizée was a little magazine exclusively for Alizée that ran for a few issues. I'm sure others know for sure.

"Merci Beaucoup" Espire......
