0:00Hi everyone, hope you are well and having a great day.
0:07Welcome to this video where we will see
0:10together a French expression in a few minutes.
0:14Today, we are going to see a rather familiar expression.
0:19This expression is "poser un lapin".
0:23You did hear a rabbit as the little animal.
0:27When you stand someone up, it means you're not going on a date.
0:32If I don't go on a date, I stand someone up.
0:37And if someone doesn't go on a date with me, they stand me up.
0:42I got stood up.
0:44Often, it is used in the context of a love appointment, a date.
0:49But it can also be a business appointment,
0:52an appointment with a friend, a medical appointment.
0:56For example, if I forget to go to a medical appointment, I can say I got stood
1:03up by my doctor, I completely forgot to go to that appointment.
1:08Here are two contextualizations.
1:11I had an appointment with a waiter at the
1:14restaurant at 8pm, I waited for over an hour and he never showed up.
1:20No one had ever stood me up like that, and he gave me no news and no explanation.
1:27Here's a second example in a professional setting.
1:31I drove two hours to my client's appointment and she stood me up.
1:37She never showed up.
1:38She wrote me later that she had a problem with her car.
1:43That's it. For that little colloquialism.
1:47I hope you enjoyed it, but please don't stand up other people too often.
