"bimbo, skank"

An insult targeting women perceived as trashy, loud, or trying too hard. The word evolved from 'péter' (to fart/to burst) through the idea of someone who makes a lot of noise and show. It's mean-spirited and reductive, painting its target as all surface and no substance.

Said behind someone's back about a woman deemed annoying and attention-seeking. Also thrown as a direct insult during arguments. 'Quelle pétasse, celle-là.'
