Bonjour Olivier, I am enjoying your animal sounds in different languages
page. Thank you for sharing it. But the reason I'm writing is to ask you
how you would say in French: "Oh my, I feel I'm gonna make my mussel all day
long". I'm guessing that it is a wonderful idiom that I would like to
learn. Je vous remercie encore. Bert Bartleson

To keep this message shell related, let's learn something about how human
beings of western France use their language modules.
Here in Brittany, when people decide to stay couched a whole Sunday instead
of thinking, eating or even watching TV, they say : oh my, I feel I'm gonna
make my mussel all day long, yah... and they kill the phone, by decapitation
or with a pillow.
To make the mussel means to stay exactly like a mussel:
1 - in bed (mussel bed?)
2 - the mouth open
3 - the brain disconnected.
Not so easy!
In other countries, people name this activity Meditation.
