French word of the day: fripon

Def: Roguish (adj) or a rascal.

My friends, Lionel & Sylvia, who shared this lovely bottle of champagne with me, told me "fripon" meant "kinky", which is 10x better than "roguish" and "rascal". But, in fact, I like them all.

  1. "Kinky" in Español is "rizado" ... which has none of the charm of the sound of "fripon" ..

  2. Your friends should learn French. What dictionary translates fripon into kinky? Rascal is one correct translation.
