"C'est d'enfer!" -- lit. It's from hell! It actually can mean either "it's awesome" or "it's awful"
"Bédéphile" -- means someone who loves comics, but it sounds almost exactly like pédéphile, so be damned careful to stress that 'b'!
"Vachement" -- lit. cow-ly, but it means 'very', 'bloody', 'really', or 'damned'.
"Je suis chocolat!" -- I've been tricked, fooled.
"Tais-toi!" -- This is the rudest way you can possibly tell someone to be quiet.
"Le pinard, le picrate, le jaja, la bibine" -- all of these mean 'bad wine'. Getting a sense of french values?
One of the coolest things about modern french slang is Verlan. Verlan is a sort of slang where they invert syllables, basically saying everything backwards. In fact, Verlan IS verlan:
l'envers (reverse) ... l'en vers... vers l'en... versl'en... verslen... verlen... verlanPar exemple:
Verlan: un keuf | zyva! | barjot | chelou | la siquemu | céfran
Français: un flic | vas-y! | jobard | louche | la musique | français
English: a cop | Go! | crazy | sketchy | music | french
