Local Tongue: une partie de jambes en l'air (France)

Local Tongue: une partie de jambes en l'air (France)

Duolingo teaches you how to order an apple. Local Tongue teaches you how to gossip about what happened after dinner 😂🌶️

Welcome to Local Tongue, a new Spicy Planet series exploring the cheeky words, phrases and expressions you probably won’t find in your travel phrasebook.

First stop: France 🇫🇷

“Une partie de jambes en l’air” literally translates to “a game of legs in the air,” but it’s really a playful way of saying two people got intimate.

Very French. Very visual. Spice level 2/5 😂
