4 vache
I.n. f.1. (pej.): 'Copper', policeman. Les vaches: 'The fuzz'. (This seemingly injurious appellation, as well as the expression Mort aux vaches!, has nothing to do with the bovine species.

(The image here is of the impoverished individual whose meat rations, when he can afford them, are of the 'shoe-leather' variety.)9. Oh, la vache! Damn and blast! — Drat! (This exclamation and its English equivalents are equally innocuous and dated.)10. Vache de¼! This colloquial intensifier can either be damning as in Quel vache de temps! What bloody (awful) weather! or loaded with admiration as in C'est un vache de mec! He's one hell of a guy!11. La croix des vaches: Punishment inflicted by old-time pimps on recalcitrant prostitutes or by members of the underworld on a traitor. These deep facial cuts in the shape of a cross made with a razor blade, were encouraged to fester and leave a scar by the application of a chemical.II.adj.1. (of person): Weak, all limp.

6 Légion d'honneur
Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur (National Order of the Legion of Honour) Established in 1802 by Napoleon, the Légion d'Honneur is the highest civil and military decoration in France. The order is divided into five grades: Chevalier (Knight), Officier (Officer), Commandeur (Commander), Grand Officier (Grand Officer) and Grand-Croix (Grand Cross). The Grand Master of the order is the French head of state, i.e. the President. The award is given to people of exceptional merit in all walks of life, rather like an OBE or a knighthood in the UK. it cannot however be awarded to members of parliament (Députés). People who have received this award frequently show this - notably on formal occasions - by wearing a very discreet small red lapel band.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
