French Expression of the Day: Jamais deux sans trois Pronunciation: [ja-may duh san twa] Meaning: Things always happen in threes Literal Translation: Never two without three Notes: The expression jamais deux sans trois is a bit superstitious. It means that if something has already happened two times, then a third time is inevitable, usually referring to bad luck. In English, we might say When it rains, it pours to capture the same sense of impending unhappiness.
