The French language is a real gold mine for lovers of words, letters and prose. It is one of the languages with the most words in the world, it is to tell you how rich it is (and difficult to learn)! There are many words, but there are also many words to define the same word (and many times the words “word” and “many” in the same sentence, right?). These are called synonyms, and some have quite an impressive number! The proof. Or the demonstration. The illustration. The testimony. You understood.
“Penis”

Our favorite synonyms: “Perpette-les-Oies”, “Perpette-la-Galette”, “Trou-la-Ville”, “Asshole of the world”. Our favorite favorite still comes from Quebec with… “Saint-Pisse-qu’en-Coin”! Tabarnak who are funny!
Synonyms to ban forever: none. All synonyms are exceptional. For the trouble, we give you some pearls of Quebec expressions: “Saint-Meumeu-des-Creux”, “Saint-Loinloin de Pas-Proche” or “Si-Profond-du-Lointain”. Great art!
“Idiot”
Number of existing synonyms: 42. Of course! We are French ! It therefore seems obvious to me that we are quite efficient and innovative in the art of insulting people. Is not it ?
Our favorite synonyms: “con”, and all its derivatives (con like the moon, con like its feet, con like a handle, con like a broom without handles,…)
Synonyms to ban forever: “simple”, “dumb”, “stupid”. These are not-so-nice ways of using an already not-so-nice word.

“Masturbate”

Our favorite synonyms: “strangle the one-eyed man” (man), “turn the salad” (woman).
Synonyms to ban forever: “pleasing Popol” (male)(Really stop nicknaming your dicks, guys. It’s weird.), “tampering with the bacon” (female) (calm down on the weird metaphors, there) .
