Meaning of expression "avant que tu ne sortes tes meilleurs vannes"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Jordi,
There is a lot of slang in this sentence, I am glad it is a C1 exercise -
balancer/ sortir des vannes = to throw/ come out with wisecracks/digs/cutting remarks
en baver = to have a hard time of it / to suffer
( can mean to drool but not here.)
So -
Before you come out with your best wisecracks, be aware that I am really suffering!
Hope this helps!

sortir les meilleures vannes -- (literally:) to bring out the best valves
