French Expression of the day...

Avoir du pain sur la planche

The informal French expression avoir du pain sur la planche is very similar to English's :

To have a lot on one's plate

Si, de nos jours, "avoir du pain sur la planche" signifie avoir en perspective beaucoup de tâches fastidieuses à accomplir, le sens de cette expression était bien différent à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Cela signifiait que l’on avait assez de réserves pour affronter l’avenir.

Effectivement à cette époque les paysans préparaient de grandes quantités de pain qu’ils conservaient sur une planche de bois fixée au plafond.

Par la suite, l’expression a pris le sens "d’avoir de quoi vivre sans devoir travailler".

Le sens actuel "avoir du travail en réserve" semble n’être apparu qu’au début du XXe siècle.
