Beurré comme un p'tit Lu

Meaning: Thoroughly drunk.

Language: French

Literally: Buttered like a little Lu

Category: Food & Drink

Origin: A double pun. Beurré, 'buttered', is slang for drunk, and the Petit-Beurre biscuit made by the Lu company since 1886 is the most famous buttered thing in France. The comparison is entirely gratuitous, which is the joke.
