Alèz kom blèz nan chèz san pinèz. Who or what is "blèz"?
This expression is a pun.
"Blèz" is a proper name.
The word "Blèz" is used because it rhymes with "Alèz, chèz, and pinèz".
It is like saying: Holy Molly!
Generally, Alèz kòm blèz nan chèz san pinèz alludes to "As comfortable as an old shoe", or "As relaxed as wet spaghetti".
