mccReading via mastodon translate a thread by a French poster about recent actions by Macron and partway through got slapped in the face with the discovery that "I'll eat my hat" is an idiom in France as well as America ("Bon, je mange mon chapeau, et c'est pas très bon.")
Is this… how universal is this? Do they eat hats in Germany? Russia? What percentage of earth has a local-language idiom for eating hats?
zhenech@mcc no, we (Germans) eat brooms 🤷♀️
@zhenech That seems very reasonable. I mean, it's reasonable in the sense that a broom is definitely something you would not want to eat
