Useless (bad) word of the day (2)

Jean-foutre

/ʒanfutʁ/
dJ-ah footrr The d is here to explain that you are suppose to pronounce the J with clicking your tongue to your teeth before, that is, without producing the sound 'd'.

Jean stands for John or any very usual name. Foutre means uh... semen. Not a very polite word. A Jean-foutre would be a useless jerk. Totally outdated.

The insult is typically used by a well-established, slightly overweigt bourgeois who loses his temper, in a mid-Tewentieth century movie.

'There is no way you are seeing this Jean-foutre again, young lady !'
