Favorite French Moment of the Week, #2

This week we learned a new French phrase from a new French friend:

"J'ai la patate." (I hope I've got it right.)

Literally, it means "I have the potatoe." Figuratively, it means to be energetic and maybe a little bit powerful. Felix explained it by saying "It's like after you have a red bull and you're..." and then he flexed his muscles and made a face. You can also say "J'ai le frite." "I have the french fry."
