Le TranslationI wonder how much this translator got paid.

I'm thinking Hugh Grant did it himself.
Speaking of translation, right now at my french university they're piling me up with French translation homework. The class is so freaky, they're all french but they speak perfect english with pretentious British accents.
I do my best to live up to all Australian stereotypes by wandering into the room with my "Bondi Livesaver" jumper on, crazy surfer hair, saying stupid Australian expressions all the time with a fake bogan accent "SEND US A BUZZ IF YA AFTA SOMETHING, JEAN-MICHEL!" "CRIKEY, MADAME LACROIX! YOU'D BE UP SHIT CREEK THERE, HON" etc.
Anyway, help me! One of the texts is a blurb of Erin Brockavich and I need to fill in the blank with something that fits naturally.
"With three children to raise, [COLLOQUIAL EXPRESSION FOR HAVING LARGE BREASTS] and her bank account at zero, Erin Brockavich is desperately searching for a job."
Suggestions? Add a comment...
