Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Highschool French says… “j’ai lair sur la feu.” Is that right?

[–] olosta 41 points 7 months ago

"lait" not "lair" but that's look like an autocorrect mistake. The correct phrase would be close : "j'ai du lait sur le feu".

I never worked in a kitchen, but an announcement would probably just be : "lait sur le feu".

And last thing, the expression as more to do with watching closely than being busy. Watch something like milk on the stove.
