Too short this entry 😦
Can you make it longer by guessing the play on words in “ouate de phoque”? What does “ouate de phoque” mean literally in French?
Wadding of seal, or cotton of seal (seal in this case being like a signet, rather than the animal). Not sure if that would reflect on the t-shirt or the person wearing it. 🙂
