In the article entitled A Clichy, on distribue des drapeaux tricolores, I came accross the word “potache”.
A l’initiative assez potache de l’opposition UMP-UDF, le conseil municipal de Clichy-la-Garenne (Hauts-de-Seine) va distribuer un drapeau tricolore aux nouveaux citoyens français et aux nouveaux inscrits sur les listes électorales.
Potache means:
Schoolboy or student
The whole translation of the above phrase might be:
With the rather schoolboy initiative of the UMP-UDF oppostion, the town council of Clichy-la-Garenne (Hauts-de-Seine) will distribute a tricolor flag to new french citizens and to people newly enrolled on the electory register..
