volEnt
But it's not the same idiom in French. You'd say "Quand les poules auront des dents" meaning 'when hens have teeth'.

Tell me an idiom and I'll tell you what it would be in French. You can help me revise. Or not. I wouldn't if I were you.

Ummmmm
how about "like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic" ie a futile activity?

Hmmm. I can only think of 'se tourner les pouces' meaning to twiddle one's thumbs.
