  • 4 soupe

    n. f.
    1. 'Grub', food. Etre de soupe (mil.): To be on cookhouse fatigue. Aller à la soupe: To go for one's nosh.
    2. 'Slush', wet and very soft snow.
    3. Un gros plein de soupe (pej.): A big fat slob. (The derogatory nature of the appellation lies not so much in contempt for outsize people, as in the erroneous assumption that they are big-heads and that they 'throw their weight about'!)
    4. Etre trempé comme une soupe: To be 'wringing wet', to be soaked to the skin.
    5. Etre soupe au lait: To get into a huff at the drop of a cross word (literally to rise at the slightest provocation like milk on the boil).

    8. Etre le dernier pour la soupe (joc. & iron.): To miss out where the better things of life are concerned. (This expression is very much in tune with the hackneyed story of the private complaining to his sergeant that he did not often get a leave-pass, adding: 'My name is Wimpole'— to this the sergeant replied 'lf your name had been Arse-hole, Bum-hole or Cunt- hole you'd have had a chance, but being Wimpole you come last!')
    9. Par ici la bonne soupe! (iron.): (If it's a fight you're after) come and get it! (This belligerent taunt is usually uttered by hotheads, boastful bullies and the like.)
    10. Marchand de soupe (pej.):
      a Restaurateur. (As the appellation suggests, hardly the keeper of a three-star establishment.)
      b Headmaster of a crammer. (Academic whose objective seems to be a healthy turn-over of pupils, i.e., large profits rather than the imparting of knowledge.)
      c Any businessman whose primary objective is a large turn-over and quick profits.
    11. Faire de la soupe (Musicians' slang): To prostitute one's talents by working for a sub-standard band or outfit churning out Muzak-like tunes for popular consumption.
    12. Donner la soupe à quelqu'un: To show a clean pair of heels to an adversary in the race for success.
    13. Avoir soupe de¼: To be fed-up with¼, to have had enough of someone or something. J'en ai soupe de sa fiole! I'm sick and tired of seeing his face around!
    14. La soupe sera bonne! (joc. & iron.): This incongruous remark is directed at anyone who is picking his nose or scratching his behind.
