Teen French expressions
For if you want to make hip young friends.
Disclaimer: French people complain a lot. A lot. Don’t be surprised if 90% of these expressions are complaining.
- Non mais oh - say this if someone does something mildly annoying and you want to express your shock and distaste.
- Tu me fais chier - (alt. tu me fais chier, là.) literally ‘you make me shit’. means you’re pissing me off.
- Carrément - translates to ‘squarely’. Means ‘literally’. If someone tells you something surprising or annoying, you can answer simply “ah carrément.” see: tu me fais carrément chier.
- J’hallucine / je rêve - are you annoyed by something? say these.
- C’est pas possible - a classic. anything bad happens - c’est pas possible. There is no cheese left? It’s not possible. I’m hallucinating. This is a burden on me that solely I can bear I cannot believe this is happening.
- Ça commence à me gaver - I’m starting to get real sick of this. see: Ça commence carrément a me gaver là, putain.
- T’es relou - verlan slang for ‘lourd’ meaning someone’s heavy, personality-wise. They’re tedious.
- Ça me saoûle / ça me gonfle - similar to gaver, means something’s pissing you off, you’re sick of it.
- Grave - totally.
- C’est clair - totally/that’s clear. Like ‘claro’ in spanish. “Justine elle est trop relou” “C’est clair. Elle me fait chier.”
- J’en ai marre - I’m sick of this.
- J’en ai ras le bol - I’m sick of this.
- J’en ai ras le cul - I’m sick of this (vulgar).
- (J’en ai) Rien à battre - I don’t give a damn.
- (J’en ai) Rien à foutre - I don’t give a fuck.
- C’est bon, là. - That’s enough.
- Perso, euh, - “Personally,” generally used at the start of a complaining sentence, to express how personal the matter is to you. Perso, euh, c’est bon là. J’en ai ras le cul.
- Rôh là - general expression of distaste. Le longer the rôh, the more annoyed you are. Rôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôh, c’est quoi ce bordel.
- C’est quoi ce bordel ? - translates to “what’s this brothel”, means “what’s this shit?!”
- C’est de la merde - It’s shit.
- C’est une blague ? - Is this a joke?
- Idem - ditto
- J’ai la dalle - I’m hungry
- Ça caille - It’s freezing
- Ouf - two meanings 1. phew or 2. verlan for “fou”, meaning crazy (as a noun or adjective). “Kévin, c’est un ouf! Il fait du vélo sans casque!” “Ouais carrément, c’était un truc de ouf!”
- Kévin - there’s a running joke that all the young delinquents seem to be called Kévin.
- Crever - slang for “to die”. Va crever, connard!
- Connard/Connasse - c*nt, but a lot less vulgar in french peoples eyes
And finally,
T’es con. No English translation can express the power behind the words “t’es con”. While it may sort of translate to “you’re a c*nt/idiot”, it expresses something much deeper. You really are a god damn fool.
january mood: listening to tchaikovsky while eating pastries, wearing oversized coats, drinking dark coffee, the smell of tobacco, roses and freshly baked vanilla cake, mini skirts, watching the snow falling from your window in your cozy bed, reading the snow child, hugging a friend after a long time
Salvador Dalí in collaboration with Walt Disney.
This is hauntingly pretty.
