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...
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. ...
