Brilliant! Husband coined "macron" as a measure of political expedience as in "I think we need to move another 10 macrons to the right, Theresa".

There’s no such thing as « macaroon », it’s called « macaron » but it’s a different kind of macaron. For example, Brigitte Macron’s parents baked this latter kind of macarons for their candy shop.

Sorry i made a cultural mistake. In France we use the same word to describe two cakes that share a common origin but are today largely different. We call this soft baked almond cake macaron, like the poshy rose thing. You are obviously more pragmatic.

Ahh! But do you know what a micron is? Test question

Is it not a micrometre? Micro as a prefix meaning a millionth, so a millionth of a metre?
