"French leave" nghĩa là phú lỉnh, chuồn mất.
Ví dụ
Filer à l'anglaise is the French version of 'to take French leave' and means leaving a place or sneaking out of a party without saying goodbye to anyone.
I decided to take a French leave to get some air. After an aimless stroll (sự đi dạo) somewhere in New Haven, I found myself engaged in an equally aimless conversation with Emilio, a brawny (khỏe mạnh, rắn chắc) twenty-something unloading a delivery truck at the side of a busy street.
That's why pornography was called "French postcards", while condoms were "French letters". The French also took the blame for someone being absent without permission, with "French leave". Even in that hallowed English game of cricket an unintentional shot was called a "French cut". And it is still quite common for an English person, after uttering a profanity, to come out with "Pardon my French".
