042Foreign Language Friday: He was on holiday in Goa, India and spoke a fair bit of English, but appreciated some poor, schoolboy French in return.
For his SOTM, he wrote: You cant stop now, youre so near to the bowl of sangria. The meaning of which, he explained, is "dont stop, youre so near to your goal".
His friend told him that while they were working together in a laboratory.

""Flancher" means to give up. So here my version: "We ain't gonna give up, 2 meters from the bowl of sangria!!!""
