Just would like to add some few expression not involving the a$$ word :p
Ce n'est pas la modestie qui l'étouffe
Il se croit sorti de la cuisse à Jupiter (celui-là)
Il se prend pour le centre du monde (celui-là)
and the following should be used only with friends (but is very used)
ne pas se prendre pour de la merde
like :
'Il ne se prend pas pour de la merde (celui-là)'
My two cents ;)
Me, me! I use it, I use it! Not like it was me that suggested this or anything. And not like the other one I suggested involved couilles or anything of the sort. Must remove mind from gutter.
PS-I like how keeleemac pronounced barrrrack obama a la francaise!
