Hi,
I've scoured the internet to find out about the origin of an expression I heard a few times in French.
The expression is "face de singe" which literally means "monkey face". This term is used when referring to a very steep climb.
Has anyone ever heard of this expression and can you tell me why it is called a "face de singe"? Furthermore is this expression originally from France (Europe) or is it local to North Amrican french speakers (Quebec)?
Thanks / Merci
