French Expression of the Day: ... et jen passe Pronunciation: [ay zha(n) pahs] Meaning: and thats not all, and all sorts of things, and so on Literal translation: and I pass over some Notes: The French expression et jen passe is a sort of verbal shorthand, a way of letting listeners know that you are skipping over boring or excessive details. The adverbial pronoun en replaces the implied word choses - the things youre skipping over. Example Ce que Michel est raseur ! Il na pas arrêté de parler de son divorce, déménagement, licenciement et jen passe ! Michel is such a bore! He droned on about his divorce, move, firing, and on and on! By Laura Lawless.
