what the heck is a pair of slaps? 😵

are you sure you have the spelling of the first word correct? Were there any accents?

edit: or the spelling of the second word, for that matter.

paire de works together, but not with claques....

I'm thinking paire is a mispelled for of some verb...

 

[Farfrael]

claque = slap
paire = pair

so une paire de claque = pair of slap = two slaps
paire de claque is a French idiom
