After some consultation on the Wordreference forums, I decided that this can be translated as:

I feel like doing him, I want to sleep with him

Wonder when I will get the chance to use this handy expression :-p

Read a couple of chapters of 哈利波特与凤凰社 whilst downloading “Taken” which I had heard about recently and of which I had missed the cinema release (yes, China imported this film despite its explicit content, although of course they may have cut scenes).

I was pleasantly surprised that the only bits of dialogue that I didn’t grasp boiled down to the following:

Emballer (être emballé par)

to be taken with

Ca m’emballe pas vraiment

I’m not that keen

Appréhender

to arrest

Bichonner

to pamper, dress up

Connard

Bugger

Se faire larguer

To be dumped

That will be all for now :-) Hopefully I will find some more time to watch some more french films too, don’t want my French to get rusty…

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’ :)
