(The expression panier à crottes, although totally devoid of charm, refers generally to a woman's behind.) Secouer (also: faire sauter) le panier à crottes: To have a dance.

3. Panier percé: 'Hole-in-the-pocket' character, spendthrift person.

4. Faire sauter l'anse du panier (iron.): To 'fiddle accounts', to divert funds. (Originally, as the expression suggests, the fiddle was one involving pennies rather than pounds and operated by light-fingered maids.)
