Feeling seedy after a night out on the town? We have a look at how to say it in show 16 : "avoir la gueule de bois".
Listen to our explanation of the phrase :
Literal translation
To have the muzzle of wood
English equivalent
To be hung over
To have a hangover
French equivalent
Avoir la tête dans le cul
Ne pas se sentir bien
Avoir mal aux cheveux
Prendre une grosse cuite (please note, thanks to the Muffin Man, we have to say that this is not really a description of the consequence, but more a description of how much was drunk, as in, "to get totally smashed")
Frog's phrase
OOooooh, ohh, ça va pas! Ooooooooh, j'ai mal à la tête! Oh, j'ai trop bû hier - c'est la faute de Katia et Kyliemac. Oh, j'ai vraiment la gueule de bois! Ooooooh la la..
