definition

eh bien, merde alors expression or saying

Never mind, let’s move on

Origin

Mark thinks he sort-of made it up, but it’s possible he heard it without realising how fruity it is (see Notes)

Collector

Mark – 2010s
Mark Iliff – owner

Notes

Eh bien (French) translates roughly as an unenthusiastic “oh good”, merde is “shit” and alors is “then”. Together, though, they’re a bit fruitier… at least Google Translate thinks so
