December 18th : "être serrés comme des sardines"

The French expression être serrés comme des sardines (literally “to be packed like sardines”) means being very close together, just like sardines in a can. 🐟

It’s often used when there’s not enough space or when a place is too crowded!

💬 Example:

You’re giving three friends a ride in the back of your small car.

👉 You ask them: “Aren’t you packed like sardines back there?”
