Hello ! Here are a few details/insights on some of the words you used : - Truc = Quetru/Ketru in verlan - Mec = Keum in verlan - Meuf is actually the verlan for Femme (woman) - Caisse is used more than Bagnole i think - Mater can also mean Reluquer, as in "je t'ai vu en train de mater la meuf là-bas" (I saw that you were looking this woman over there) - Choper is a verb meaning Attraper (to catch) and the verlan is Pécho - Vénère is Enervé in verlan - Chelou is Louche in verlan (odd/shady) - Laisse tomber can also be Laisse béton (tomber in verlan) - Ouf is Fou in verlan (crazy) And i don't think that any french person would say "vachement ouf", you can say "vraiment ouf" or "vachement bien/bon".

@@Rachel-rs7jn Younger people will use street slang more often (lot of words coming from Maghreb actually) such as "khey" meaning frère/ami in the way it's used. "Avoir le seum" is very common too, i don't know where "seum" is coming from though. "Jure" and "Wallah" are used commonly too, almost as a ponctuation : "Jure t'as pris le bus wesh? - Wallah j'ai pris le bus pour y aller" here the words "jure", "wesh" and "wallah" don't really have a meaning.

In addition, to argue in your sense concerning "comme ci, comme ça" (like this, like that) which is actually little used, I'd add which we more commonly say "couci, couça" neither than "comme ci, comme ça". But most often it will be: "Bof !" which will be used as a natural onomatopoeia to express which something does'nt pleases us, doesn't suit us too much, or to answer someone who asks us: "How are you?", and which we want to tell him that we aren't too fit or we don't have too much morale. We'll answer "Bof !" For number of expresions you use in this video, the most are in verlan ("verlan" = "lanver" = "l'envers" or rather "à l'envers", reversed syllabes): Ouf (fou), vénère (énervé), relou (lourd), meuf (femme), cimer (merci), etc... About it, there's a very famous french song released in 70s which has popularised "verlan" in France and made it accessible to the greatest number. it's "Laisse béton" (laisse tomber, let it bang lol) by singer Renaud. Because before this song, verlan was only used by street guys, even if "verlan" was used in France from very long time ago ("Without being known as verlan, the oldest forms of metatheses in French date back to the Middle Ages and began to be used by the people from the 16th century. But the use of verlan developed particularly from World War II. Initially used as a cryptic language in the working and immigrant circles of the Paris suburbs, it quickly spread to all classes of the population, in particular thanks to its use in cinema and music" CF Wikipedia). ...C'est portenawak ! :D (c'est n'importe quoi) For the rest, I notice by the slang language you learned in France which you've take good time here ...hahaha ! Very good ! continue to take a chance ...carpe diem, life is short. :)

"Comme ci, comme ça" est maintenant remplacé par "moyen, moyen" (cf, Les anges gardiens. Le film). Le verlan n'est pas de l'argot au sens propre, en plus c'est une façon de parler ridicule et prétentieuse lorsqu'on ne vit pas dans le milieu où elle est utilisée. On définit un mot comme argotique lorsque qu'il est employé dans un sens non reconnu par l'Académie française, il existe aussi des mots d'argot purement inventés mais ils ont très souvent dérivés de mots anciens, d'un patois ou d'une autre langue. L'argot évolue très vite, il change tous les 10 ans, l'argot des années 50 n'a plus rien à voir avec l'actuel. A noter que lorsqu'un mot d'argot entre dans le dictionnaire, il n'est plus considéré comme argotique, sauf s'il est définit comme tel. l'expression "Comme ci, comme ça" n'est pas une forme argotique.

I think you should do 20 slang words rather than 50, but explain them in more details. Also, maybe you could run them through your husband to make sure that you have the meaning correctly identified. What i mean is that for each word, you're between 100% and 60% correct. I haven't seen anything that was wrong, but there was a lot that was imprecise. For instance: - "cimer" is rarely used. I'm 35 years old. I've heard it less than 10 times in real-world conversations (usually, it's gonna be someone under 25 years old). - "Balle" doesn't really mean "euro". You could be in Australia and say "cette bière m'a couté 10 balles". "Balle" means something like "buck", like "i paid 50 bucks". But it doesn't imply the "euro" currency. - Bouffer: to eat (Familiar. Don't use it in polite conversation). - "avoir la dalle", et "que dalle" sound the same, but the meaning isn't too related. Concretely, the 2 expressions are quite different. Don't necessarily try to link these expressions together. - "Picoler" means "to drink", but in the sense of "to drink a lot", or to drink in an abusive manner. If you are drinking a single beer, you are NOT in the process of "picoler". - Mater: to watch, or to check out. This can be used in reference to "watching a film", or to checkout the ladies. Or it can just mean "look". - BG means "beau gosse". But i've never heard it in the sense of "belle gosse". Who says "belle gosse"? We have other words to describe the ladies. - "Kiffer" doesn't mean "to be into someone" at all. It means "to like". It can be applied to anything: to food, to a game, to anything. And yes, to a girl/guy as well. - Chopper/pécho: means "to get" something, "to obtain". When saying "chopper", it means "to get" (to get whatever), when saying "pécho", it means "to get with a lady"/guy. - Vénère is verlan for "énervé" (irritated, pissed off). Enervé can get written as NRV, then transformed in verlan to VNR, which gets pronounced vénère. - Relou: Verlan for "lourd" (heavy) - Chelou: Verlan for "louche" (suspicious, weird) - "Avoir le seum" doesn't mean "to be disappointed". It means "to be enraged", "to be pissed off". - "C'est ouf": "ouf" is verlan for "Fou" (crazy). When you say "c'est ouf", you're saying "it's crazy". - "vachement" is not vulgar at all, it is familiar. You shouldn't say it in polite conversation, but if you did, it wouldn't cause outrage. It's not a rude thing to say.

For those who are interested in slang, listen to Renaud, especially the oldest album, he is like a modern poetry using slang and verlan. Seeing the words you chose, you probably socialize among young people, then I would like to draw attention to the fact that most of these words are to be used carefully, not always, not everywhere. About verlan, some words you gave are verlan, here it is : meuf

@@UnintentionallyFrenchified Yes, exactly that. It's why I spoken to you about Renaud and how the "verlan" was popularized by his song(s). He used a lot of slang terms of his generation in his songs and became really popular thanks with it (even if some of these slang words are still used today like "baston", "craignos", etc. Besides, "ça craint" which is more commonly used today comes directly from "craignos" used in the past, the majority of them have disapear). About Renaud, there's something really interesting for you (as a foreigner and youtoubeuse on popularization - the word popularization is used here in the literal sense of the term and used in the sense of "popularizer" - of French habits and specificities) to know. Actually, I often hear in other channels like yours or I read comments posted by their visitors who speak of "the Parisian accent". I note each time the same confusion that is made about the accent (the pronunciation of words and sentences) with the typical words or expressions commonly used in each region. Which is totally different. And so, with regard to the Parisian accent, the song "Laisse Béton" by Renaud is the perfect example to evoke if one wants to explain to a foreign person what the real original accent (titi parigot) of the Parisian working classes is. You have to listen carefully this song and to note how all the sylabes including "ar", "ai", "è", "ey", "eu", "oi", are pronounced in a very catchy trailing voice and so much stronger intonation than the other syllabes. Those containing only "a", "i" or "u" will on the contrary be pronounced very dryly, and the "e" in the end of a word is never totally prononced. This is why before, the southerners said Parisians that they had a "sharp" accent (accent pointu). Unfortunately, the working classes have slowly, but surely, been relocated to the "suburbs". And in fact, since 70s and with Renaud precisely, this typical Parisian accent has almost disappeared. We can no longer speak today of a Parisian accent that would still be emerging in Paris.

Choper is the original argot verb, and pécho is verlan, but pécho has almost uniquely a connotation of hooking up with a girl, meanwhile choper can be used for objects or diseases like to catch or to snatch. "J'ai chopé la crève" for "I got a flu". "les keufs m'ont chopé", Cops caught me. And vénère is actually the verlan of énervé.

So, to use it now is even more ridiculus "c'est de la balle" is typically the expression old people say failing in their trying to sound young. And may be it was again something real 10 years ago, even them know they sound to weird joking about this expression not really used by anybody for a long time.

This could explain why people think "Sacrebleu" is current. The same applied to English classes in France: I was taught I should say "how do you do" to people when first meeting them, then "how are you"; I've never seen this done in real life whether in the UK (where, admittedly, I've spent little time) or in the US.

"Comme-ci, comme-ça" does exist, often shortened to "couci-couça". But that's something my grand-mother would say, and I'm nearing 50, I let you do the maths (or conversely that's something I would say to someone older or more senior than I am ; the former is entirely acceptable in speech, the latter is more familiar, neither are vulgar). Also, it may be subject to regional preferences. I'd guess it's a little bit more common in northern France than in the south. Also, just to nitpick, saoul/soûl/soul is an interesting word. Traditionally, the received orthography is "saoul, saouler", and its sibling "soûl, soûler" was accepted albeit considered archaic. But since 1990 it's been allowed to remove the "accent circonflexe" (^) from the û, and "soul, souler" is gaining traction as it's now simpler to write. Anyway, it's still better form to write "ça me saoule" instead of "ça me soule". Feels a little bit more upscale.

Un goupillé d'rocneau qui n'avait pas clappé, Se radina lousdé pour le baratiner: "Hé! mon pote le corbac, Je n'avais pas gaffé que t'étais si chouette Et si bien baraqué. Si tu pousses ta gueulante aussi bien que t'es fringué, T'es le caïd des mecs de ce bled!" Le corbac, pas mariole, Lui lâcha le coulant sur la fiole.

Tu es une vraie française , toutes les régions de France ont des expressions bien à elles ; par exemple en franche-comté , on va dire : ramasse les chenis avec la pelle à feu , ce qui veut dire balaye la poussière et enlève la avec une petite pelle et une petite brosse (vieille expression qui désignait les petites pelles en métal utilisées pour enlever les cendres encore chaudes des poêles à charbon

Bonjour, Votre liste est intéressante et regroupe des mots et expressions qui relèvent soit de la familiarité, soit de l’argot. Je ne pense pas que ces mots soient utilisés partout et en toutes circonstances : je peux vous assurer qu’ils sont proscrits du vocabulaire couramment employé dans les milieux socio-culturels supérieurs. S’il est utile de comprendre leurs sens, il n’est pas nécessaire de les employer soi-même puisque la langue française dispose d’une nuée de mots et expressions équivalents -au risque de paraître peu cultivé, voire vulgaire. Pour me résumer, une liste à connaître absolument sans qu’il soit nécessaire de l’énoncer soi-même 😊👍

Je suis des Ardennes, et ici on a des expressions qui ne sont pas dites ailleurs en France. Par exemple, quand on dit de quelqu'un qu'il est «narreux», c'est qu'il est difficile sur l'hygiène alimentaire, et il ne mangerait pas une glace s'il y trouvait un cheveux, ou qu'il ne boirait pas à la même bouteille qu'un autre.

Half of the words you are mentioning here are not appropriate to use in society. Like if you are invited to dinner and say « qu’est-ce qu’on bouffe », that would literally be so rude people would be in shock. I wouldn’t even say it to my mother. So this video lacks a great deal of circumstances. You can’t just say « une baraque = une maison » without saying that it’s implying the house is wether garbage, or huge, or something you can’t stand, depending on the circumstances.

Actually, lots of these either slang or colloquial words hava a former meaning. Exemple "Gerber" means to stack or to pile like boxes in a warehouse. There different slangs and "alternative" languages. It mostly depends on the context and so many ways to "alter" it. In french you have as many exceptions as rules and there are many rules but "no real limits". So feel free to combine. Michel Audiard could invent so many dialogues for movies, a real genius because he could make new things with old ones. It was funny and kind of "graphic" that you could feel the underlying meaning. Formerly there was a very specific slang among parisian butchers. The name of this slang was "louchébem". It disappeared some decades ago. I used to hear it when I was a kid! ;-)

@@norbertfontaine8524 C'est une référence au Panama à la base. Le chapeau en fibre végétale de l'équateur, de forme un peu plus étroite que le Borsalino mais très ressemblant, et non pas en référence à la république du même nom, contrairement à ce que l'on pense habituellement. À l'origine, Panam s'écrit donc sans "e". Les deux orthographes peuvent normalement être acceptées je pense. Ça vient des classes populaires de Paris et sa banlieue qui ont mis à la mode ce chapeau en fibre tressé très léger à porter. Il a d'abord été considéré comme un apparat de canaille car les proxénètes et les voyous l'affectionnaient particulièrement. Ce sont eux qui les premiers l'ont porté. Il a ensuite été repris par la bourgoisie qui a fini par adopter l'objet et à finalement reconnu son élégance. J'ai employé ce surnom plus souvent oralement qu'à l'écrit. Ayant passé ma jeunesse et plus en banlieue et sachant qu'on employait très rarement le mot Paris pour nommer la capitale, c'était vraiment un mot de mon vocabulaire courant. Il nous arrivait aussi de dire "Rips" (en prononçant le "s") plutôt que "Ripas". ;)

- Never heard "cimer" or "c'est n'imp" or "avoir le seum"... - "Ca roule" is good. I would go with "Ca marche" as well. - "beau gosse" only applies for men. You don't say "belle gosse" for women - laisse tomber = forget it - "Ca me soule" is good. But I say "Ca me gave", "elle me gave" (instead of "elle me fait perdre la boule", which is slightly dated) - "C'est top" : I don't use it. I prefer "c'est génial" or "c'est super" or "c'est (trop) cool" - You forgot "zarbi". It's an important one. I often use it.
