a month of Sundays -- ( La semaine des quatre jeudis )

[HenHanna]

Yes, "a month of Sundays" is a very common expression. It's an
idiom meaning "a very long time."

It's interesting to note that it's not a literal calculation of time,
but rather a hyperbolic way to express a lengthy period.

Traditionally, Thursday afternoons were half-days or even school-free
days for French schoolchildren.

What does haven't heard that in a coon's age mean?

---> a very long time



In "I haven't seen you in a coon's age",

a coon's age simply means "a very long time."

According to most sources, "coon" means "raccoon" here, and early
settlers in the U.S. were under the mistaken impression that raccoons
were particularly long-lived animals.

i guess it was just a Coincidence that French children liked
Jeudi's and Jeu-di is lit. a Play-Day.
