Aujourd'hui, je vous parle d'une expression très courante : avoir la réf. Je pars d'un cadeau qui m'a été fait par mon amie Anne-Laure.
Je vous explique comment utiliser cette expression et comment ne pas l'utiliser.
Je termine par un exemple récent de l'utilisation de cette expression par Felicia.
Ainsi, pas de doute, avec cet épisode vous aurez la réf. Et avec les notes culturelles qui l'accompagnent, vous l'aurez encore plus.

Un épisode délicieux, plein de finesse et de clins d’œil culturels. Laetitia capte avec brio ce moment où l’on doute d’avoir “la réf”, entre confiture renversée et slogans d’Attal, entre Montparnasse et F1. Sa plume est vive, drôle, et toujours juste — on rit, on réfléchit, on se reconnaît. Bravo pour cette narration subtile et joyeuse !
