1 soucoupe
n. f.1. Bill in café or restaurant (because the 'billet doux' informing the client how much he owes is delivered in a saucer—a worthy receptacle for a tip. Cellard and Rey in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL mention that up to 1940, amounts owed in bistrots were actually inscribed on the saucer itself).2. (Cycling slang): 'Chain-wheel', sprocket-wheel to which the pedals are attached. (Gaston Esnault in his DICTIONNAIRE DES ARGOTS exemplifies the use of this word in the expression appuyer sur la soucoupe: to use the larger chain-wheel in order to develop maximum pedal-ratio.)3. (pl.): 'Flappers', 'lug-holes', ears. -
2 bock
n. m.1. Small glass of beer. (Content of standard balloon glass.)2. Avoir du bock: To have the luck of the devil, to be extremely fortunate. (Jacques Cellard and Alain Rey in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL state that the word is found only within the above expression and are in some doubt as to the word's etymology.) -
3 hachesse
adj. inv. 'Pissed', 'blotto', drunk. (In their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL, Jacques Cellard and Alain Rey find the origin of the word in the military abbreviation H.S. short for Hors Service. The nearest English equivalent would be U/S, short for unserviceable.) -
4 Luc
Proper name. Fêter Saint-Luc: To have sodomous intercourse. (This expression is lexicalized by Jacques Cellard and Alain Rey in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL, luc being the inversion of cul.) -
5 sègue
n. f. Se taper une sègue: To 'pull one's wire', to 'have a wank', to masturbate. (Cellard and Rey in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL attest the usage of this word, and mention its presence in G.Guégan's UN SILENCE DE MORT.) -
6 trône
n. m. (joc.) Le trône: 'The loo', the W.C. (As Jacques Cellard and Alain Rey point out in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL the term has no real vulgar connotation.) -
7 vachement
adv. Extremely, very. (As Jacques Cellard and Alain Rey point out in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL, this adverbial intensifier has lost all pejorative connotation and strengthens any statement, good or bad. Il est vachement méchant! He's really evil! Elle est vachement belle! She's jolly pretty! This adverb is very much a product of the liberated 60s.) -
8 zero

Les avoir à zéro: To 'have the shits', to be in a blue funk, to be petrified. (Alain Rey and Jacques Cellard in their DICTIONNAIRE DU FRANÇAIS NONCONVENTIONNEL associate semantically le zéro and fear, in spite of the fact that the accepted alternative to the above expression is avoir le trouillomètre à zéro.)4. Etre à zéro:a To be 'back to square-one', to have lost all.b To be 'knackered', 'buggered', to be exhausted.5. Bander à zéro:a (lit.): To have 'a hard', to have 'the big stick', to have an erection.b (fig.): To be 'over the moon' about something, to feel elated.

(also: zéro pour la question!): No way! — Nothing doing! — Certainly not!7. Avoir la boule à zéro: To be as bald as a coot. (The origin of the expression lies not in the zeroshape of a bald head, but in the head-shears used by army and prison barbers, known as zéro or double-zéro.)8. A zéro (adv. exp.): Totally, completely. On était affranchis à zéro: We were fully genned-up. On s'est fait avoir à zéro! We were well and truly trounced!
