文化背景
In France, 'au top' is ubiquitous. It’s used by everyone from Gen Z to Baby Boomers. It reflects the 'cool' factor of using English words in a French way. Quebecers are more protective of the French language. While 'au top' is understood, you are more likely to hear 'C'est écoeurant !' (slang for 'awesome') or 'C'est tiguidou !'. In the 'Startup Nation' culture promoted in France, 'au top' is used to create a dynamic, non-hierarchical atmosphere. The hashtag #AuTop is used across the French-speaking world to tag high-quality lifestyle content.
The Thumbs Up Rule
