Meaning & Usage
01
"boor, oaf, lout"
An old-fashioned insult for someone with terrible manners — a boor, an uncouth lout. It implies someone who eats loudly, burps freely, and has no concept of social graces. It's almost charming in its specificity: a pignouf isn't evil or stupid, just appallingly ill-mannered.
Examples in the Wild
'Quel pignouf, il mange avec les doigts au restaurant' — what a boor, he eats with his fingers at the restaurant. 'Espèce de pignouf!'
