Talk:jouer avec ses armes

RFV discussion: October 2018–February 2022
Not an idiom in French, as far as I know, so I'd like some proof that it's lexicalised. Uses like this are few and far between, and nothing else than literary fancies, imo. Per utramque cavernam 17:59, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I see enough Google book hits plus many more Google news hits to sustain the idea that this is idiomatic. It would appear that the verb is extracted from an idiomatic phrase or saying chacun joue avec ses armes. --Lambiam 08:24, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I think it's clearly lexicalized. Lmaltier (talk) 21:32, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * There are a lot of Google Books hits (for inflected forms), but many are more literal, and do not have the claimed meaning. It would be helpful if someone who speaks French could identify and add some of the idiomatic citations Lambiam says exist. - -sche (discuss) 02:45, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

RFV-failed. Three years is more than long enough to wait for citations. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 14:49, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
