Description: This odd narrative plays on two French idiomatic expressions whose usage predates 1500. One is the vulgar use of “maillet” (mallet or hammer) to refer to the male sexual organ. The other is the expression “faire de son poing un maillet,” which means literally “to use one’s fist as a hammer,” but colloquially was an indication that a person did not know the correct use of something. That expression also sometimes appeared in the form of a proverb holding that “Only a fool uses his fist for a hammer.”
