[Ads-l] "To the nines"

[W Brewer]

JB: "Mes souliers sont neufs" = "My shoes are size nine."
WB: On the International Shoe Size Conversion Chart, a French size nine
registers as a very petite baby booty. So that <<Agie de ton âge, pas ta
taille de chaussures>> sounds even more insulting than the derived
Franglais expression ever could.
