Me'n vaig a fer un cluc
Bon dia tothom! Il y a des mots qui font du bien rien qu'à les prononcer. Et le mot du jour en fait partie : c'est le Cluc. En catalan, le verbe aclucar signifie fermer les yeux. Alors, quand on dit qu’on va « a fer un cluc », ça veut dire qu’on va faire un petit somme, une micro-sieste, ou juste reposer ses yeux quelques minutes. C’est l’expression idéale pour ce moment de la journée, juste après le repas, quand le soleil commence à chauffer et que vos paupières deviennent un peu lourdes.

An archive photo of a car at a gas pump. Gas prices moved into the $3 range across North Texas over the weekend, a jump many drivers noticed as soon as they pulled up to the pump.

Cependant, cette transmission est primordiale.

Fortunately, those days are gone. After mail volume increased in the ’80s and ’90s, marketers realized that it was cheaper to reach customers’ email inboxes, and mass marketing fell out of favor.
