In English, to wait until the cows come home, means you’ll wait a long time. In French, it’s attendre la semaine des quatre jeudis, literally, to “wait for a week of Thursdays.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Until a Week of Thursdays”
Earlier we were talking about cows and it reminded me of the French equivalent of the English until the cows come home, which means something is happening for a very long or indeterminate time.
And in French, the idiom is, or until a week with four Thursdays.
We’re going to do this radio show until a week with four Thursdays.
