Meaning & Usage
01
"idiot, dummy"
One of French's most charming insults — calling someone a tripe sausage to mean they're an idiot. It's gentle, almost cute, the kind of insult you'd use with a child or a friend who just did something dumb. Nobody gets angry at being called an andouille because the word is inherently funny.
Examples in the Wild
