1 pouèt-pouèt
I.n. m. (also: pouette-pouette):1. (interj.): Honk! Honk! (Onomatopoeic transcription of the honking of a motor car horn, more the vintage type than the modern saloon.)2. Faire pouèt-pouèt ( à quelqu'un): To 'sweet-talk' someone, to make up to someone with amorous intentions. (The popularity of this expression can be traced to a pre-1940s song where the lyrics went: 'Je lui fais pouèt-pouèt, elle me fait pouèt-pouèt, on se fait pouèt-pouèt'¼, etc.—hardly highbrow stuff!)II.adj. inv. & adv. (also: pouettepouette): 'So-so', not very reliable. Les affaires vont pouèt-pouèt: Business is just about chugging along.
