뜻
To feel very well and energetic, like being in excellent physical and mental condition.
문화적 배경
The French often use 'la forme' (the shape) as a synonym for health. 'Avoir la pêche' is the more colorful, colloquial version of being 'en forme.' While understood, Quebecers might more frequently use 'être en shape' (from English) or 'avoir du pep.' 'Avoir la pêche' sounds very European to them. In Belgium, 'avoir la frite' is arguably more popular than 'avoir la pêche,' reflecting the national love for fries. In countries like Senegal or Ivory Coast, French is often mixed with local metaphors. While 'avoir la pêche' is known, energy is often described through metaphors of heat or strength.
