Er, petard? Off the top of my head isn't that a dagger (hence the expression 'hoist on his own petard'). It is also a red-coloured fire-cracker that comes in strings, sized anywhere from the smallest roughly 7mm long * 2mm wide, up to about 12cm*2cm, the latter being capable of doing some pretty serious damage (IIRC in the States they are called 'cherry-bombs').
Or did you mean putain, the French expletive, which literally means whore, but I've heard it used as a general expletive when a person (either gender) or inanimate object is really annoying you.

i speak no french...! but i know how to say "3ncule" very well. i think that's as bad/good as it gets for me.JR8 wrote:...Er, petard?

Re: destiny - how to make an interesting advertisement
Yes, or add 'vous!' (='you!') on the end and, as you say that is AFAIK about as bad as I learned as a schoolboy.taxico wrote:i speak no french...! but i know how to say "3ncule" very well. i think that's as bad/good as it gets for me.JR8 wrote:...Er, petard?

p.s. Seems contrary now that in that expletive you are using the polite/formal tense of 'you'. One for a Francophile to explain ...?
