FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Croiser le fer

Croiser le fer: To fight, to battle, to dispute; literally, to cross swords.

As seen in: « À 34 jours de l’élection américaine, Barack Obama et Mitt Romney croiseront le fer ce soir à Denver, au Colorado, à l’occasion du premier de trois débats présidentiels. »

(Translation: “Thirty-four days before the American election, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will do battle tonight in Denver, Colorado, for the first of three presidential debates.”)
