Here begins the dirty french word of the week (thanks Jenny for the great idea). The next few weeks will bring more creative and unusually sexual words that the English language has yet to discover.

A word that one must know to build a solid foundation of “dirty french” is merde.

Merde (may-rd) – shit. The word is not used to describe defecation however and should not be confused with chier, which means “to shit.”

Possible uses for “merde” would include:

  • Aw man I’ve got a flat tire…MERDE!
  • Merde I’ve got the worst hangover ever.
  • Men with erection problems in France probably say merde more times than can be repeated.

French word of the week – enjoy!
