Poule or Poulette Its more "European" expression somewhat, but today, with American movies translated in France, we use "slangs" from France, like Poule. But I'm not 100% certain that it does come from France, but I know that France French translated movies does have an impact on our french.

I do know that a 'Poule' (English = 'Hen') is colloquial in French for a younger, 'kept', mistress. Wink

Further to that - birds are used as friendly greetings in various parts of the UK - generally to a female.

Eg in Lincolnshire you'd hear "Are you alright

duck

?"
In Glasgow " Yoos ok

hen

?"

Any others ? Grin

I'm not familiar with this expression Oldrocker, I'll take a look on the net. If it does exist, never heard it...
Those english "duck" expressions made me think of Bugs Bunny :p

What's up Duck! Grin

Supposedly it means "cooking the books" Meaning alteration of accounts to make the figures add up !! I reckon it's not a genuine expression ! - a urban myth it is then !! as you've not heard of it & I cannot find anything about it on the net. Aw well
