#

or is it “à toi”

#

since it’s “clocking to you”

I can’t find a French translation

#

So I guess I’ll just stick with “Ça ne te clocke pas, n’est ce pas?” for now

I'd say tu captes pas

#

No one would understand clocker

#

Yeah I know 😂

I’d have to provide the context in advance if I ever use that line, which I doubt

do you understand what's funny about it is internal to english? it's like asking which accent in French is the irish accent

#

it's not that there can't be equivalents at all, but it's a strange question
