2 nègre
n. m.1. Ghost-writer, one who does the literary donkey-work for a famous and otherwise busy author.2. Faire le nègre: To be landed with all the chores.3. Faire comme le nègre, continuer: To carry on with what one is doing. (The origin of what could loosely be called an ironical catch phrase is to be found in the seemingly pointless comment uttered by Marshal Mac-Mahon, President of the French Republic in the 1870s. When visiting a military academy he asked a junior recruit what his functions were and when told 'Je suis le nègre', i.e. one acting as a temporary batman, MacMahon, always lost for a word, simply said:'Eh bien, continuez!'. the French equivalent to the military: 'Carry on as you were!')4. Parler petit nègre: To speak broken French. ( Petit nègre is the French counterpart to pidgin English.)5. C'est comme un combat de nègres dans un tunnel (joc. & iron.): I defy anyone to make head or tail of all this!
