trois pelés et un tondu (informal)

“three bald people and one with closely-cropped hair”

= hardly anyone

The baldness referred to here would have been caused by a condition of the scalp thought to be contagious. Therefore a gathering of people with this condition wouldn’t attract anyone else!

Je suis passé à la fête de Cécile hier soir mais il n’y avait que trois pelés et un tondu, alors je suis rentré chez moi.

I went to Cécile’s party yesterday evening

but there was hardly anybody there so

I went home again.
