I guess "Casse toi pauvre con" has two meanings in this sort of situation.

This has kept coming back into my head, today, because (and I know you've translated it) my response is always precisely "Shut the f*** up!", out loud, no matter how may bus-loads of infant-school children are standing within earshot.
Maybe there's hope for anglo-franckicle relationships yet, as we appear to have a shared hatred for marketing morons.

Just shut up.

I hate those, "you are reaching the end of the escalator please step off" electronic messages, if I reach the end of course I am stepping off what the heel else can I do?

Collected works consist of a worker and, within the blessed, the million point man's initials (9)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Worker : Ant

Yes, I was worried the first two words would give it away.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
I actually worked the clue backwards - as soon as I saw the million points mans initials I knew that OG had to be in there. I'd skim read the question and picked up worker and OG before I took in the rest of the clue.
|
|
|
|
|
That makes me feel better then, it was a proper clue rather than just a definition, even if an easy one.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
The downside is that this means I'm up for tomorrow. 
|
|

|

Except..."OG" is not my initials... 
OriginalGriff is (technically) one word, and my given name is not "Original" (Or "Griff", strictly speaking)

Yeah I know, but you do get referred to as OG, I considered something to do with Pascal Case but dismissed it is too awkward.
Conveying meaning is more important than accuracy.
Or something.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

If he'd gone with short "venerated sheep worrier" you'd have been offended though.

Indeed I would.
Nobody describes me as "venerated" and gets away with it!
