Expressions :
French expression “Boire la tasse” : When swimming, it sometimes happens that you involuntarily swallow water. This is called drinking the cup. The expression is a variant of the old expression "to drink from a big cup" and appeared towards the end of the 18th century and its figurative meaning is "to fail".
- It's not my cup of tea: it's not my favourite thing to do, it's not my favourite activity; this expression is a literal translation of the same expression in French ("Ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé"). Dat is niet mijn meug in Dutch.
