French speakers please- a saying for "hold on a mo" ?

Sorry this may not be the correct place to post.

Hubby was doing a crossword a few weeks ago and a shortish word- maybe 5 or 6 words - was the answer. I was on my phone and discovered it's figures in a colloquial phrase for " yeah, hang on mate" sort of phrase. the expression was " Minute xxxxx" For the life of me I can't remember the phrase.

Attends un instant

The phrase you're thinking of is likely "Minute, papillon!" It's a French expression that translates to "Wait a minute, butterfly!" It's used informally to ask someone to hold on or wait for a moment.

Thanks Barnet! Excellent. So pleased you knew.

Thanks Fox Trot. Got there now but I appreciate you answering. Cheers.
