Expression: Tu ne manques pas d'air
Meaning: You've got some nerve/cheek
Literal translation: You don't lack air
Notes: The French expression
manquer d'air means "to lack air," as in

Informally,
ne pas manquer d'air is synonymous with
avoir du culot and
ne pas manquer du culot - to have nerve/cheek.
Example:
Tu oses revenir après ce que tu as fait ? Tu ne manques pas d'air !
You dare come back after what you did? You've got some nerve!
