ras-le-bol

So Pauline Marois had a fit yesterday about something Jean Charest said, and journalists duly collected and printed her words. The subject of said fit isn’t really important––it was something about being responsible for the sad state of health care in Quebec, and her anger seemed as manufactured as Charest’s initial charge. The interesting thing, at least to this tête carré, was her use of the term ‘ras-le-bol’ (or, alternatively, ‘ras le bol.’)
