Trop relou, j\u2019ai pas pu aller \u00e0 la teuf hier!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didn\u2019t get that? Don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s what we\u2019re here for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, in French slang the sentence means, \u201cThat s*cks, I didn\u2019t make it to the party yesterday!,\u201d but with a French linguistic delicacy thrown in called Verlan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is French Verlan Slang? French Pig Latin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Verlan is a type of French slang allowing you to cut, paste and play around with syllables to create French slang words and phrases. A bit like Pig Latin<\/a>, if you like, only way cooler \u2013 and much more widespread in France than it is in the US or the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick is to cut the word into syllables, reverse them and then glue them back together. Sounds pretty basic, right? It isn\u2019t. To \u2018polish\u2019 your verlanized<\/em> word, you\u2019ll need to drop or add letters so that it\u2019s easier to pronounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verlan 101<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with Verlan 101. In the first sentence, the only two words you probably didn\u2019t get are relou<\/em> and teuf<\/em>. Relou<\/em> actually comes from the French lourd<\/em>, which basically means \u201cannoying\u201d or \u201cirritating.\u201d (It can also mean \u201cheavy\u201d based on the context.) If we cut the word in half, we get lou-rd<\/em>. Now let\u2019s throw away that silent D at the end (why is it needed anyway?) and we get lou-r.<\/em> Turn them around and you\u2019ll get r-lou<\/em>. Throw in an E in between to make it easier to pronounce, and \u2013 ta-daaa \u2013 you get relou<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same linguistic surgery applies to teuf<\/em>, which comes from the word \u201cf\u00eate\u201d (party). When pronounced like a true mustache-wearing, croissant-loving Parisian, f<\/em>\u00eate <\/em>actually sounds more like f\u00eateu<\/em>. Once again, chop it up (fe-teu), reverse it (teu-fe) and drop that useless final E and you\u2019re ready to party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Did Verlan Start?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although some people claim that verlan <\/em>dates back as far as the seventeenth century<\/a>, it became increasingly popular in the 90\u2019s in low-income French banlieues <\/em>(suburbs of a large city) <\/em>thanks to rap groups like IAM and NTM. Regardless of its origin, it has always been used as a way of not being understood by any type of authority figure, be it the cops, the government or\u2026 your mom.  It\u2019s a way for social outcasts to distance themselves from the rest of society through language. The word verlan<\/em> itself is actually a verlanized version of \u00e0<\/em> l\u2019envers<\/em>, meaning \u201cback to front.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verlan<\/em> has now conquered other French-speaking areas like Belgium and Qu\u00e9bec through movies and music. It is still, however, mostly spoken by young people in informal contexts \u2013 do not<\/em> try this during a job interview to impress your potential boss with your ninja skills in French!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Try Some Verlan Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s get to the nitty-gritty. Here are 5 verlan words to help you navigate the French slang<\/a> underground culture like a pro:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ouf <\/em>(Fou) \u2013 crazy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This is one of the easiest. Just like we did in the previous examples, simply break the word into two parts (f-ou), invert the syllables (ou-f) and that\u2019s it. You\u2019ll hear this word used especially in the phrase \u2013 Un truc de ouf<\/em> (something crazy, unbelievable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Meuf<\/em> (Femme) \/ Keum<\/em> (Mec) \u2013 woman \/ man<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      To get meuf<\/em>, you first need to accentuate the silent E in femme<\/em> to get fem-meu<\/em>. Invert the two syllables (meu-fem<\/em>), drop the final \u201cem,\u201d and you get meuf<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The same goes for keum<\/em>. First, accentuate the end (pronounced me-keu<\/em>), switch the word\u2019s tail and head (keu-me<\/em>) and, why not do away with that final E, to get keum<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      meuf<\/em> and keum<\/em> can also mean girlfriend <\/em>and boyfriend<\/em>, as in the sentence \u2013 Tu viens avec ta meuf \/ ton keum ?<\/em> (Is your girlfriend\/boyfriend coming along?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. C\u00e9fran<\/em> (Fran\u00e7ais) \u2013 French<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Here, as we did earlier, you first need to pronounce the word like a true Frenchie \u2013  fran-c\u00e9. <\/em>Flip it up then glue the whole thing back together and you get \u2013 c\u00e9fran<\/em>, as in, Tu parles c\u00e9fran ? C\u2019est ouf ! <\/em>(So you speak French? That\u2019s crazy!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Keuf<\/em> (Flic) – cop<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          This one\u2019s tricky.  To understand how they got to keuf<\/em>, you first need to know the French slang word flic<\/em>, which means \u201ccop.\u201d If we accentuate the final sound and transcribe the pronunciation, we get fli-keu<\/em>. Reverse it and you get keu-fli<\/em>. Now, let\u2019s drop the \u201cli\u201d and the result is keuf<\/em>, as in, Attention, les keufs arrivent! <\/em>(Careful, the cops are coming!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Skeud<\/em> (Disque) \u2013 record or album.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            For music lovers only. If you transcribe disque<\/em> phonetically, you get di-skeu<\/em>. Flip the two syllables to get skeu-di<\/em>; then get rid of the final “i” and you\u2019re all set to put your skeud <\/em>on a turntable. As in \u2013 Il me faut ce skeud! <\/em>(I need this record so bad!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Are there rules to \u201cverlanizing?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Remember that there\u2019s not a single governing rule when it comes to \u2018verlanizing\u2019 words in French. They\u2019re usually the result of a creative linguistic process that is sometimes tricky to explain. Also, note that not all words should be verlanized; only a handful made it to the club (see extended list below). In an attempt to look \u201cfresh\u201d and closer to the youth, the SNCF (the French rail network) infamously \u201cverlanized\u201d\u2019 the word possible<\/em> as ssiplebo<\/em> in one of their ads. Unfortunately for them, nobody says that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Bonus: if you want to complete your verlan dictionary to sound even more French, here are more verlan words to expand your French slang vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            ch\u00e9bran<\/em> (branch\u00e9)                    cool, trendy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
