They keep coming back.
Christmas is the special time for irritating little formulas.
Sighs of weariness, embarrassed silence, forced smile ... These puns end, by dint of being assassinated each year, by boring.
The editorial staff offers you a selection of them.

"Drowning Joël!"
We do not know very well when this expression dates back.
She wins the Palme d'Or for non-witticisms.
If this variant of
"Merry Christmas"
is not legally reprehensible, it is a blow to the morale of the troops gathered on this feast day.
Its followers have the talent to never tire of it, and assail it, year after year.
They forget the adage so true: the shortest jokes are the best.
"Health!
And not feet! ”
It's time for the traditional glass of champagne:
"health!"
.
Your neighbor at the table was waiting for him:
“but no feet!”
, he hastens to answer.
Yet you had hoped very strongly that he would not do it this year.
This is how.
When a joke makes him laugh, why deprive the assembly?
It is also possible that he responds to your
"goodbye"
with the variant:
"two feet!"
.
Misery.
"See you next year!"
We all have a colleague or loved one fond of this dubious joke.
At each Christmas drink before going on vacation, he greets the assembly and splits with a thunderous voice:
"see you next year!"
.
With a sigh, we try to forgive him for his acute love of rehearsal comedy.
After all, it's Christmas.
"Pass it on to your neighbor (zin)"
Imagine.
You are comfortably seated around a furnished table.
The dish passes from hand to hand.
A guest, in a mocking mood, gives it to you, and says to you with a broad smile:
"pass it on to your neighbor (zin)!"
.
Please, forget about this uncertain play on words.
"Beautiful year!"
Has “Happy New Year”
become outdated?
The fashion for some time now has been to wish each other a
"happy new year"
, as well as a
"beautiful day"
, or even a
"delicious new year"
.
What is the meaning of this care bear formula?
The use of
"beautiful, beautiful"
would perhaps give the impression that one puts more heart in this wish.
But in the long run, this formula is boring, and slightly cutesy.
