Crotte de Nez

We had Brandi and Renee over for dinner this past Saturday and we had a really good time talking about classes, work, and life in general. I learned lots of great vocabulary, most of it centered around the word "crotte", which is used most often by French people to refer to the dog poop (why be eloquent) on the streets. Here are two other ways the word is used:

Moto-crotte: Refers to loud motorcycles which frequent the roads. In France there are several types of bokes, scooters, motorcycles, dirt bikes, you name it, they use it. The moto-crottes are the super loud ones that you just want to flick off every time they drive by.

Crotte de nez: The French equivalent of the word "booger". Literally translated, it means "nose turd". Gotta love it.
