A friend of mine plays in a band in Montreal called "Thick as
Thieves" and he asked me how his band's name should be translated in
French. Clearly, "Gras commme un voleur" won't do as the sense here is
corpulence rather than closeness. Does anybody know a French idiomatic
expression that would be an equivalent to "thick as thieves" or have a
suggestion of how to translate this into French in a catchy manner?
