Dirty Linen (with overtones of shit)
washed at home in France and not at the public wash-place
or pond = keeping problems and quarrels and perhaps scandals within the family :
« laver son
linge sale en famille »
washed in public in Britain and not in the private laundry-room or wash-house = letting everyone know your family quarrels and problems and perhaps shameful things : « to wash one;'s dirty linen in public »
