Französisch Begriff oder Satz: triple buse
another one of those fights between the two kids...
I know 'buse' is 'dolt', but 'triple buse'???
I don't think 'you're such a dolt' is strong enough. 'Stupid idiot'? Any ideas?
Merci!!!

sodamnlogical (asker): 8:58pm Apr 24, 2005: how about 'you, moron!'?
Oddie: 9:02pm Apr 24, 2005: It's not very strong - and rather old fashioned ;-) -
Charlie Bavington: 9:15pm Apr 24, 2005: Given Sarah's comment (and I was wondering anyway) - when (roughly) is this story set? Because slang of course changes dramatically over time.... -
sodamnlogical (asker): 9:19pm Apr 24, 2005: Unfortunately, I don't have a time frame :-(
but if 'gouffa light' is any indication, or 'sois pas venère', I would guess it's pretty contemporary. HTH!
xxxsarahl: 9:34pm Apr 24, 2005: vénère is already dated, actually, though not as much as triple buse. -
sodamnlogical (asker): 10:02pm Apr 24, 2005: is it truly dated, or is it merely a way to avoid using swear words?
xxxsarahl: 10:19pm Apr 24, 2005: les deux mon capitaine ! it's not as strong as swear words, and I never heard anyone younger than my parents use it. -
sodamnlogical (asker): 2:22pm Apr 25, 2005: so, get this! I'm further in the book, and they're now playing on a Sony PS2! Definitely contemporary... no older than 3-4 years. I just think the author is an older person and not all up to date with the latest slang... ;-)
sodamnlogical (asker): 8:53pm Apr 26, 2005: thank you to everyone for their input! I did like bonehead, too...

triple dork
Erklärung:
Eg
"Ouch..
He's a :dork: :dork: :dork: TRIPLE DORK"

Oddly, commoner than the more poetically alliterative "double dork", which seems to be confined to Frank Zappa's lyrics.

It seems that despite its etymology dork is applciable to the fair sex as well.

an idiot squared

Erklärung:
How about "you're an idiot squared"? (i.e. raised to the 2nd power, mathematically speaking :) )

You have no idea what the bible means. You are an idiot squared. ... What about
short people? Unregistered. You are an idiot squared. ...
