* don't push granny in the nettle bush
Expression used here and there by mainly adults
It is used when someone is going a bit far in their behaviour/request. It basically means that they should not exaggerate.
"En plus de l'aider avec son projet je dois aussi faire la vaisselle? Faut pas pousser mémé dans les orties!"
"After I helped him with his project I also have to do the dishes? Don't push grandma in the nettle bush!"
