This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand AND in bulk using pre-orders helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!

Ballet dancers started using "merde" for good luck in 19th-century Paris, when a full house meant a lot of horse manure ("merde") in front of the theater. Wishing someone "merde" was, therefore, a way of wishing them a well-attended performance. While the literal meaning has faded, the superstition of avoiding the phrase "good luck" endures, and "merde" is still used today by dancers before taking the stage. It also means sh*t in French!
