My short time on a term abroad many years ago in France did not expose me to that. You may well be right. However, the actions they took while doing that To me, it was equivalent to “get the cow”.
The Monty Python crew is a whole bunch of really really smart people so they may have had that Slang in mind and perhaps they did say that.
I’m shocked nobody’s commented on the reference yet.
“Go away you silly k-nig-gtt. Fetchez la Vache!”
“run away! run away!”
For those too young to remember or haven’t been exposed to it, this is from Monty Python and the search for the Holy Grail.
This is a must watch for any political cynic.
Edit:. I’m sorry I didn’t see the duck comment that came an hour before me.
You’re sure it’s not Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire?
As a frenchman, I always eared “faites chier la cache”, which is slang for “throw the cow”
