You can even learn the French equivalent: "on ne peut pas avoir le beurre et l'argent du beurre".

I think it sounds sexier in French
The things I learn here! Most things sound infinitely sexier in French, with the exception of the infamous ‘sexy’ which… eww. There must be a better translation for that.

Yeah, it confuses people because it's actually backwards, since having cake is a prerequisite for eating it. If you flip the order suddenly it makes sense: "eat your cake and have it, too." Have it both ways.

That’s fair. And it does feel rather pointless to valiantly defend the cake you’re not even eating. Alas, no easy solutions in this world.
