Bosser

To work (informal)

意味

Informal verb for working.

🌍

文化的背景

The French often use 'bosser' to complain about their workload, a social ritual known as 'râler' (complaining). In Quebec, 'bosser' is used but 'travailler' remains slightly more dominant in casual speech compared to France. In Francophone Africa, 'bosser' is the primary word for studying hard for school success. Belgians use 'bosser' similarly to the French, but might also use 'bloquer' specifically for cramming before exams.

No, it's not rude, just informal. It's like saying 'work' instead of 'be employed' in English.

Only if you have a very casual relationship. If you use 'tu' with your boss, you can probably use 'bosser'.

'Taffer' is more 'street' or youth-oriented. 'Bosser' is universal slang used by all ages.

You say 'J'ai bien bossé' or 'J'ai bossé dur'.
