Le mot du jour : “Copains comme cochons”
Well, here it’s a funny expression 😃
“Copains comme cochons” (“friends like pigs) means to be really good friends with someone. But why like pigs? Are pigs such great friends?
In reality, it seems that it has nothing to do with pigs. In old French, “soçon” and also “chochon” meant friends, mates. With time, people forgot about that and changed it for cochon.
And that is how, to this day, you can be as good a friend as a pig 😉 And who is to say that pigs are not wonderful friends anyway ?
