    Ep62 - French Slang 101 - Mastering Con

    Welcome back to another episode of the French Blabla podcast! In the last episode, we tackled two iconic French swear words—or as I prefer, the P-word and M-word.

Today, we're diving deeper into the realm of curse words in French, focusing on another essential word that, surprisingly, doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. This word is frequently used in daily conversations across France, yet it seems to fly under the radar in language learning materials. Let’s shine a spotlight on it and explore how it can be used in casual settings without any fuss. And before we dive in, a quick shout out to our sponsor, Lingopie. I’ll give you more details about their services later in the episode, so stay tuned! Alright, let's get started with today's exploration of curse words in French!   In this Episode Exploring a Lesser-Known Swear Word: We'll break down a lesser-known but widely used swear word in French, discussing its meanings and the appropriate contexts for its use.
