Allumeuses, The Sweetest Thing
May 29th, 2007
I recently borrowed the film “The Sweetest Thing” from my sister to watch, having notice that there was a French Soundtrack available. The French version of the film is known as “Allumeuses” and I thought that it would help increase my French ’slang’ vocabulary. Here is a list of the new vocab I learnt along with translations - watch out, some are rather vulgar!!
Tortiller
To Twist
Piger
To understand
Balèze
Humongous
Queue
Dick
Déconner
To bullshit, mess around
Avarié
Rotten, rotting
Se pointer
To turn up, to attend
Fumet
Scent, odour, smell
Suinte
Ooze, seep, trickle
Cramouille
Vagina (vulgar)
Foufou
Crazy
Se grouiller
To get a move on, hurry up
Papoter
To chat
Naze
Stupid, knackered, broken
Poisse
Bad luck, misfortune
Chambouler
To ruin
When I get home I’m going to hunt out more DVD’s that I own that have a secondary soundtrack in a language I can understand!
Really enjoyed watching this film in French rather than in ‘American’
