Bonjour, classe! Today's lesson is going to be insults for women. Since France has traditionally been a patriarchal society, it stands to reason that there are far many more insults for women than there are for men. For the purposes of this lesson, I shall break them down by suffix. Enjoy!
| -asse | English gloss | -arde | English gloss | -esse | English gloss |
| bécasse | stupid | connarde | jerk, idiot | bougresse | country woman |
| bétasse | stupid woman | dégonflarde | scaredy cat | porquesse | fat woman |
| connasse | fucking bitch | démerdarde | lawyer | ||
| feignasse | lazy bum | froussarde | scaredy cat | ||
| grognasse | girlfriend, bitchy woman | pétocharde | scaredy cat | ||
| paillasse | mattress | saloparde | bitch | ||
| pétasse | bitch | trouillarde | scaredy cat | ||
| pouffiasse | whore |
On a side note, classe, if any of you think it's cute to use any of these new vocabulary words to describe the teacher, you will all be getting Fs as well as detention. Class dismissed!
