@AmiralPatate C'est marrant, je ne connaissais pas pompon dans ce contexte. Pour moi, ça a toujours été Attrapez la queue du Mickey !jlliagre– jlliagre2024-10-03 20:03:38 +00:00Commented Oct 3, 2024 at 20:03

@jlliagre Never heard "attrapez la queue du Mickey", always heard "décrochez le "pompon" which was classicaly said out of the context of fairs when somebody was reaching a goal sometimes after a long time, "il/elle a décroché le pompon" after e.g., a nomination.Jean Marie Becker– Jean Marie Becker2024-10-03 20:24:58 +00:00Commented Oct 3, 2024 at 20:24

1@JeanMarieBecker Oui, je connais bien l'expression décrocher le pompon en général mais je n'avais pas fait le rapprochement avec le truc qu'on doit attraper dans un manège qu'il me semble avoir toujours entendu appeler queue du Mickey mais j'avoue que mes propres souvenirs sur ce style de manège sont lointains. Il est bien sûr évident maintenant pour moi qu'il s'agit de la même chose.jlliagre– jlliagre2024-10-03 21:04:42 +00:00Commented Oct 3, 2024 at 21:04

Pour continuer sur les variantes locales, en Belgique, sur un manège, on attrape la floche et non le pompon.Gilles V.– Gilles V.2024-10-04 06:13:05 +00:00Commented Oct 4, 2024 at 6:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. choix-de-mot), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
