POPULAR
FRENCH INSULTS
I am by no
means any expert on the French or France, but one thing I’ve learned along the
way writing the “French Kiss” series is that the population does not suffer fools gladly. It’s not a case
of being pompous or rude, it’s just ingrained, though and most of the time, or
so I’ve heard, if you’re really annoying them, they simply ignore you. But when
they don’t, their insults cut as sharp as a cheese blade. Here’s a few of my
favorites gleaned from all over the place. And it might help if you know how to
pronounce French, because you’re sure not going to get any help from me.
Tu es completement debile.
You’re a
complete moron.
T'as une tête a faire sauter les plaques
d'egouts.
You’ve got a
face that would blow off manhole covers.
Le réalité et toi, vous ne vous entendez
pas, n'est-ce pas?
Reality and you
don’t get along, do they?
C'est marrant, mais vous êtes tellement
moins attirante quand je n'ai pas bu.
You are so much
less attractive when I'm sober.
Il/Elle a une tête à
claques.
He/She has a
face made for smacking.
Tu t’es coiffé avec un
balai?
Did you comb
your hair with a broom?
Tu pourrais te faire un manteau en fourrure
avec ses poils du cul.
You could make
a fur coat out of her butt hair.
To mère elle travaille à
Monoprix.
Your mama works
at Sam’s Club.
Sais-tu combien de temps ta mère prend pour
chier? Neuf mois!
Do you know how
much time your mother needs to take a shit? Nine months!

you do-it-yourself-ers, try this—

About
the Book
When Rex Renaud, the COO of Mercier Shipping, is arrested for a
crime he didn't commit, he knows he'll need a miracle to clear his name … and
sassy lawyer Charlotte Andreko is the perfect woman for the job. Charlotte has
built her career defending pro bono clients against womanizers like Rex Renaud,
and she'd much rather let him sweat it out in a jail cell than defend him in court.
Yet Rex swears he's been set up, and when he offers her a shocking sum of money
in exchange for her legal counsel, the financial security is too tempting to
resist. The court dubs Rex a serious flight risk—how many people have their own
jet?—and he's released on one condition: Charlotte's his new jailer, and he's
stuck with her until his arraignment. But when a bomb threat sends Rex and
Charlotte on the run, neither is prepared for the explosive chemistry and
red-hot passion that flare between them as they hunt for the truth about his
arrest. - See more at: http://www.avonromance.com/book/gwen-jones-the-laws-of-seduction#sthash.DMeJRhWU.dpuf
