No. 128: maman gâteau
maman gâteau:
femme très attentionnée, qui fait des cadeaux; a very caring/attentive woman who gives presents…
soft, indulgent mother/woman...
I’m not feeling too confident about my French today after yesterday’s post, but I came across this phrase yesterday when I was reading. Not quite sure exactly what it meant, I went in search of a definition. The second definition: soft, indulgent mother/woman…made more sense in the context of what I was reading. If I’m on target, the phrase makes me smile, because the literal translation is “cake mom” or “mom of cake”…
Who wouldn’t want a cake mom?
