Well, I don't know. But I always doubted that real frogs weren't smart enough to know when to make the great leap out of the pot.

Curiosity killed the cat.
Raining cats and dogs.
Memory like an elephant.
Idiomatic.
Objet fixe. Save the dynamite for bigger fish. 😁🥱
Almost sounds like people who live in France?
Presque.
