Ep62 - French Slang 101 - Mastering Con

In this episode of the French Blabla podcast, the hosts dive into the versatile French slang term "con" (and its feminine counterpart "conne"). They explore its various meanings, using it as a noun to mean "idiot" or "dumbass," and as an adjective to describe something as "stupid." The discussion highlights how the masculine form can carry different weight when directed at women compared to the feminine form. Listeners will also learn related expressions like "à la con" (stupid or of poor quality), "c'est con" (that's unfortunate or silly), "jouer au con" (to play dumb), "passer pour un con" (to appear foolish), and the verb "déconner" (to joke around or malfunction). The hosts provide plenty of examples to help incorporate these phrases into everyday conversations. Plus, there's a brief segment featuring a sponsor for a language learning platform.
