意思
To sleep late in the morning, enjoying extra rest.
文化背景
The 'grasse matinée' is often associated with the 'dimanche matin' (Sunday morning), which is a time for family, markets, and relaxation. The phrase is used exactly the same way in Quebec, though the accent might make 'matinée' sound slightly different. Belgians also use this phrase frequently, often in the context of the long weekend.
Use the abbreviation

Avoid in interviews
Never mention this in a job interview unless asked about hobbies, and even then, be careful!
