Meaning & Usage
01
"scum, trash, piece of shit"
Calling someone literal garbage. It's a dramatic insult that sounds almost literary in French — you can imagine it being spat by a character in a 19th-century novel. Despite its old-fashioned ring, it's still used, especially when someone wants to express contempt with a certain theatrical flair.
Examples in the Wild
'Vous êtes une ordure' — you are filth. Often used with 'vous' rather than 'tu,' which makes it icier. 'Ordure!' as a standalone exclamation.
