Claude again from La Galère, with another very informal expression in French:
J’sus dans’ marde!
I’m in deep shit![Said by the character Claude in La Galère, season 3, episode 10, Radio-Canada, Montreal, 22 November 2010.]
Être dans la marde is “to be in (deep) shit.” Informally, dans la marde can sound like dans’ marde. That’s because la sometimes gets swallowed up after the word dans.
J’sus is an informal way of saying je suis. It sounds as though it were written chu. You’ll also hear je suis said informally as j’suis, which sounds like chui.
So, why’s Claude dans’ marde? Because her husband’s left her!
