haha idk how to spell it but thats how you sound it out.

what does this mean?What is this french to english translation...?
Ahaha this question made me laugh. You really need to understand french (i may be mistaken, but i believe that this iis only used in quebec)



I am a NATIVE speaker. I live and grew up in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.



What you wrote is most probably:



P猫ter les plombs



Conjugated, it would be "Tu p猫tes les plombs''



It is pronounced too pet lay pl-on* (ther is not equivalent sound in english for on)



It means to freak out or to go crazy.



It literally means to break lead, and it comes from:



In electricity, fuses have or used to have a lead wire to protect them. If too much current flowed through, the lead would melt and the wire would no longer connect the two components it was meant to, thus no longer making the circuit continuous.



This expression is an image of someone who is forced to their limits and eventually ''explodes'' and freaks out. The cuircuit in their brain is no longer functioning, if you know what i mean.



Ex: Johnny a p猫ter les plombs en apprenant que sa blond le trompait.



Johnny freaked out when he learnt his girlfriend was cheating on him.



Tu p猫tes les plombs:



''Tu p猫tes les plombs souvent'' means:



You freak out often



''P猫ter sa coche'' is also used. It literally means to break a notch. It is used in exactly the same way as ''p猫ter les plombs''



Both are extreme reactions resulting from someone being pushed beyond their limits in a bad way. It is mostly used to demonstrate an extreme expression of anger.



Ahaha this question is great, made me laugh so much. Thanks for this...

well pom is similar to plumb, and its an apple. Too would be tu, which is informal singular you. lay is les which is plural. I can't help with the pet part. It sounds like something with you and apples...maybe?What is this french to english translation...?
