Reply to comment by heavymetaltshirt in Any ideas what this expression/colloquialism might mean? by makerofshoes

That was my best guess for a meaning in French as well, but I thought given the context (“uh-oh! Someone’s in trouble!”) it didn’t really fit.

Yeah, totally. Idk sometimes idioms don’t translate literally, or maybe there’s a transient cultural meaning or reference that has been lost to time.
