Attachez vos ceintures tout le monde\u00a0(buckle up everybody), c’est reparti pour\u00a0le\u00a0B.A.-BA de l’argot (here we go again for the ABC of French Slang), avec aujourd’hui la lettre “K”!<\/p>\n
* KEUF<\/em>: * KEUM:
\n<\/strong><\/span>Even though \u00e7a a pris un\u00a0l\u00e9ger coup de vieux <\/em>(it aged a bit), this\u00a0French\u00a0slang word\u00a0is still\u00a0used for “cops”, who are also known\u00a0informaly as“flics<\/strong><\/a>” <\/em>(Exemple bien\u00a0classique<\/em>: “Deux Flics\u00a0\u00e0\u00a0<\/em>Miami<\/em>“, or “Two Cops in Miami”, which is the French title of\u00a0“Miami Vice.”)\u00a0<\/em>Notice also that while English-speaking people like sometimes to call\u00a0policemen “pigs”, the French, on the other hand,\u00a0prefer to refer to\u00a0them as\u00a0“les poulets<\/strong>” <\/em>(“chickens”)… A chacun ses go\u00fbts<\/em> (To each their own)!

\nLes Inconnus’ “Keufs et les meufs, dans le RER” <\/em>(“The ‘chicks’ and the ‘pigs’ in the RER<\/em>—The\u00a0French suburb commute)—And that’s, mesdames et messieurs <\/em>(ladies and gents),\u00a0even way before Snoop Dog got to “park it like it’s hot”!

\n<\/strong><\/span><\/em>It sounds almost just like keuf<\/em>, but it’s with an “m<\/em>” in the end. Yet another one of those verlan <\/em>(backslang) words,\u00a0it comes\u00a0from the (French slang as well) word “mec<\/strong>” <\/em>meaning a “guy”, a “dude.”
