Meaning & Usage
01
"slut, bitch"
While 'salaud' (masculine) means 'bastard/scumbag,' 'salope' (feminine) carries a specifically sexual charge — it implies promiscuity and is closer to 'slut' than to 'female bastard.' This asymmetry is itself revealing: the male version attacks character, the female version attacks sexuality.
Examples in the Wild
Used as a direct insult with sexual contempt: 'C'est une salope' — she's a slut. Also used in anger between women. The word carries more venom than most French insults.
