In Quebec French, people sometimes say of someone who's not particularly bright:
"His mom rocked him/her too close to the wall."
It's just so... vivid and random.
Bizarre j'ai jamais entendu ça...
C'est bien connu en France:
Mieux vaut tard que jamais pour l'ajouter à mon arsenal d'insulte 😁
Ça vient surtout du Saguenay!
I interpret that as is each rocking made him hit the head against the wall, with the corresponding brain damage... :)
