[Charles Martel]

Two times this week - for the first times in my life - I hear the expression “jump the shark.”

I see your home page bears the French flag. Yes, that expression might have taken a while to spread to Europe. Where did you hear the expression? Did you hear it in French or English?

I'm just wondering if this is one of those English-language expressions that the French will absolutely loathe.

En Francais on dit: “Sauter le Requin.”
The other expresion we have is “knifed by the Chinaman,” which refers to how they remove the the dorsal fin.
