YOYOTER DE LA CAFETIÈRE

Literally: playing yo-yo with the coffee maker

Best equivalent: to have a screw loose

In French une cafetière is a coffee maker, but in slang it designates the head or the brain. Yoyoter is a fabricated verb based on the yo-yo game, described as simple. By extension, a person with a simple mind, someone who says strange things can be portrayed as yoyoter de la cafetière.
