I think it's a set phrase, but I can't find a translation of it anywhere. Context is a novel about a train. It says that no one knows how much they need to pay for a ticket anymore and even the ticket inspectors "s'y melangent les pinceaux". Any help would be greatly appreciated, and, please, no literal translations! Thank you!

thanks

Sanskrit is the most scientific language this is what I intitutively feel. All scriptures are writen by realised saints .This is why the language they used should have subtle logic of shape, colour ,sound,rythm and balance. I feel sanskrit and its system is the symbolic representation of the whole nature of the universe. By saying apple we can imagine its different charectaristics but I feel sanskrit word actually symbolises the substance that it is speaking of. It can be possible only if the vibration which gives the shape to a thing equals the vibration of the sanskrit word. I feel sanskrit is the the absolute symbolic representation of the represented . Sanskrit a living language.
Wake up Indians its time to know only the truth and stick unbiasedly only with the truth. Justify analyse as a RISHI would do more precisely than a scientist. Seek pure unbiased knowledge.

madchrisc gave me the 10 points, thanks, but he didn't believe my answer was correct.
"The simple past is the tense most commonly used to refer to events that happened at a particular time in the past:
The Second World War started in 1939.

The present perfect simple is used to refer to the past in these cases:
When no definite time in the past is given or known:
He has seen the film three times.
When the activity began in the past and has not yet finished:
I have (already) read 100 pages of the book.
When the acitivity finished recently:
I have (just) been to the dentist's.
