So, you want some more colorful French slang?
Format= original french, English transliteration, and if applicable, an additional note for better context
So you want someone to SHUT UP?
Ta gueule! - (ta gull) {*literally: your mouth/face; most rude ;3*}
Ferme-la! - (fairm la) {*close your mouth*}
Boucle-la! - (boo-kleuh la) {*buckle it!*}
So thereâs no way youâll do that? LIKE HELL:
Tu rigoles! (too ree-goal) {*youâre joking*}
Tu t'fous de ma gueule! (too tfoo deuh ma gull) {*youâre fucking kidding me*}
So someoneâs a GREEDY JERK?
T'as tout sifflĂŠ! (ta too see-flay) {*you guzzled the lot!*}
Tu viens de vider toute une thÊière! (too vyan deuh veeday toot oon tay-ee-air) {* literally: you just finished off a huge pot*}
So someone femaleâs a STUPID BITCH?
Quelle salope! (kel sah-lope)
Quelle connasse! (kel con-ass)
How about a dude being a STUPID BITCH?
Quel salaud! (kel sal-oh)
Quelle connard! (kel con-ar)
Something sound like BULLSHIT?
C'est n'importe quoi! (say nom-port-euh kwa)
Elle m'a posĂŠ un lapin! (Ell ma po-zay on lah-pan ~ think nasal vowels!) {*literally: she asked me a rabbit*}

All the above came from my class notes in my French Translation course last year. My professor is a native speaker, but Iâm not! If I made any errors in my transcription, let me know.Â
EDIT: thanks to sevendrafts for correcting a few mistakes!
