C'est relou.

It's annoying.

意思

Informal and verlan term (from 'lourd') meaning something is bothersome or boring.

🌍

文化背景

In cities like Paris, 'relou' is used almost as a filler word. It's part of the 'cool' urban identity and is used by all social classes now. While 'relou' is understood due to French media, Quebecers are more likely to use 'plate' (boring) or 'gossant' (annoying). Rappers in the 90s (like NTM or IAM) solidified 'relou' in the French vocabulary. It was a word of the 'street' that became a word of the nation. On French Twitter (X), 'relou' is often used to describe 'trolls' or people who start unnecessary arguments.

🎯

Use 'Grave'

To sound like a native, respond to a complaint with 'Grave relou !' (Seriously annoying).

⚠️

Gender Agreement

Remember to add an 'e' (reloue) if you are writing about a woman, though it's often dropped in speech.
