81 sucrer
I.v. trans.1. To 'nick', to 'pinch', to steal. (The emphasis is not so much on theft per se as on the taking away of something the owner feels entitled to. Il m'a sucré ma place sur la plage! He pinched that nice spot I'd got myself on the beach!)2. To 'nab', to 'collar', to arrest. (With this meaning the verb is usually found in the passive. Il s'est fait sucrer par la Maison Pouleman à cent mètres de laprison: He only managed to get a hundred yards from the prison before being nicked by the fuzz.)3. To 'duffup', to 'rough up', to beat. (The implication where this meaning is concerned is that the beating is inflicted by a member of the police force.)4. Sucrer un texte (th.): To use the (editorial) blue pencil, to 'cut up' a text, to perpetrate some edits. (The implication in this instance is that the cuts are unjustified and 'rob' the text.)5. Sucrer les fraises: To 'have the shakes', to suffer from violent trembling (through age, illness or fear).II.v. trans. reflex.1. To take the lion's share of something. (Because it usually relates to ill-gotten gains, the act can be seen as a double misappropriation.)2. Se sucrer la gaufre: To powder one's face. (The image here is of powder applied to a face like icing sugar to a waffle.) -
82 tôle
n. f.1. 'Nick', 'clink', jail. Il vient de sortir de tôle: He's only just out of prison.2. Home, the place where one lives. Bon, faut que je rentre à ma tôle! Well, I'll have to get back to my digs! (It is interesting to note that prison and home are, in this instance, referred to by the same word.) -
83 un
I.II.indef. pron. & num. adj.1. L'un dans l'autre: 'All in all', all things being considered. L'un dans l'autre, on ne s'en est pas trop mal tiré!

85 Extremism
Compared to most of its European neighbours, France is a country with a surprising level of tolerance of extremism. For instance, in the first round of the 2002 Presidential elections, virtually a third of all votes cast went to an extremist candidate in the first round of voting, on a turnout of 71% of the electorate. Almost 20% of votes went to the extreme right-wing Front National or ex-FN candidates, and 13.81% was split among four trotskyist or communist candidates. While this can be seen in part as a form of protest vote, or lack of confidence in mainstream political parties, it also illustrates the degree to which France remains a polarised society.Extremism has long historic roots in France, going back to absolutism and the collaboration of the Vichy régime on the one hand, and the excesses of the French Revolution on the other. However its current vigour can also be attributed to the fact that mainstream political parties in modern France, on the left and on the right, have done their bit to strenghten the position of extremist parties. Conservative parties have a long history of assimilating centre-left and socialist parties with the Communists and other far-left parties, while the Socialists have persistently sought to make political capital by portraying the mainstream conservative parties as the natural bedfellows of the far right. The paradoxical result has been to give credence and respectability to extremist parties and leaders such as Jean Marie Le Pen of the National Front, or Arlette Laguiller of Lutte Ouvrière.Furthermore, in their keenness to demonstrate even-handedness, French television stations and the media have persistently given coverage to charismatic politicians of the left and the right, turning people such as Le Pen, Laguiller or more recently Olivier Besancenot, into popular chat-show guests.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

86 Fleur-de-lys
litterally meaning "flower of the lily", the fleur-de-lys is a heraldic emblem traditionally associated with France. However it is not used as an emblem of modern republican France, since for many people in France it is seen as a symbol of the " ancien régime" or the monarchy. Notwithstanding, fleurs-de-lys do feature in the coats of arms of a number of French towns and cities, including Paris, Blois, Lyon, Rheims, Poitiers, Limoges, Saint-Denis and plenty more - though rarely in the more modern municipal logos. One modern French region, Burgundy, includes fleur-de-lys in its contemporary logo. The symbol has survived more strongly outside France, where it appears for instance in the official flag of Quebec and in that of the Acadiana region of Louisiana.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

87 Képi
cylindrical cap worn as formal headwear by soldiers and gendarmes in France. As a form of headwear rarely found outside France or areas of French influence, the képi has become one of the iconic symbols of France. For instance almost all the famous photos and cartoons of General de Gaulle show him wearing his general's képi.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Képi

88 Kiabi
The biggest chain of off-the-peg clothing retail outlets in France, founded in 1978. In mid 2008, Kiabi had about 150 outlets in France, plus outlets in Spain, Italy and the Middle East. Kiabi belongs to the Mulliez group, one of France's large family companies that also owns the Auchan hypermarket chain (q.v.). The name is a play on words: put the name of a town after it, for instance " Kiabi Paris", and it sounds just like "Qui habille Paris?", or Who clothes Paris?Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
