Very Belgian: He doesn't have all his fries in the same bag / Il n'a pas toutes ses frites dans le mΓͺme sachet
Meaning that he's/she's dumb or confused :D
The English equivalent being, "She is several chicken nuggets short of a happy meal"
The German equivalent is "Not all cups in the cupboard"
The Australian equivalent is "a few snags (sausages) short of a barbie (barbeque)"
Or having a few screws loose / not all there.
A few sandwiches short of a picnic.
A few cards short of a deck.
Similar to "He's one can short of a six pack"
