Behind the words

Same idea, different pictures

Two languages season the conversation. French adds its grain of salt, mettre son grain de sel, and German its mustard, seinen Senf dazugeben. English puts in its two cents, a small contribution, or sticks its oar in, rowing in someone else's boat.

All of them suggest the opinion wasn't really wanted.
