"qui louche" or "louche" or "de travers" or "à dormir debout" Explanation: If you are talking about someone wyo is cock-eyed, a French equivalent would be "une personne qui louche" or you would say about him or her "il/elle louche". Something cock-eyed would be "quelque chose de (qui est) louche", (in the sense of something suspicious, shady, ambiguous). Or in the sense of something physically crooked, would be "quelque chose qui est de travers". If you talk about a cock-eyed story, you would say "une histoire à dormir debout", or "qui n'a pas de bon sens". I have heard some of my fellow French Canadians use the expression, directly borrowed from English "il/elle est cock-l'oeil" :-) |
