Talk:dessous de bras

RFD discussion: October 2017–May 2018
Definition:


 * 1) armpit

The usual word for armpit is aisselle, but, more to the point, this looks like simply "the underside of the arm", which would be SOP. Granted, I'm not exactly fluent in French, so I'm prepared to withdraw this if a native speaker thinks I've got this wrong. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:57, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. However, I wonder if they meant dessous-de-bras:. This is a piece of material in the armpit of a dress that soaks up any perspiration. SemperBlotto (talk) 04:47, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * You're wrong, it's a common, yet informal, way to say armpit. It's a real collocation. As a native French speaker, I know what I am talking about. See doigt de pied for example. Bu193 (talk) 22:45, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Good analogy. --Barytonesis (talk) 17:21, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Proper French, but SOP. Delete . --Barytonesis (talk) 10:40, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure, actually. --Barytonesis (talk) 13:49, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll say keep after all. The case is very similar to : SOP, but idiomatic and very common. --Barytonesis (talk) 17:21, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
