뜻
Informal verb for working.
문화적 배경
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.
The 'Bosseur' Compliment
Calling someone 'un bosseur' is a high compliment in France. It means they are reliable and hardworking.
The Interview Trap
Never use 'bosser' in a job interview unless the interviewer uses it first—and even then, be careful!
