French French speaking countries

les doigts dans le nez *

* fingers in the nose

Used to describe something that is done very easily, without any difficulty. While the literal translation is not actually used by native English speakers, French speaking people sometimes use it in a humorous way in English.

“Elle a réussi son examen du permis de conduire les doigts dans le nez!”

“She passed her driving test fingers in the nose!”
