$ X6 n& p  z: V9 [9 F1 ]Literal translation: to have a hair on the tongue
Register: informal
Notes: The French expression avoir un cheveu sur la langue can be shortened to simply avoir un cheveu. It's an informal synonym of zézayer - to lisp, to have a lisp, to speak with a lisp. The idea behind this expression is that the hair is interfering with the tongue and thus causing the lisp.
Example:
' U0 a, B) Q7 R1 z5 X& G4 T* A5 jC'est un peu difficile de comprendre Martin au téléphone, parce qu'il a un cheveu sur la langue.
It's kind of hard to understand Martin on the phone, because he lisps.
