Grognasse

A very efficient French insult that can be applied to :

- at 2am on a Saturday night in Paris, the bitch who just took the taxi 2m away from where you had been desperatley waiting for one
- the woman in the elevator to whom you wish a good evening and who just presses "close" as an answer
- the waitress who bumps into your chair every 2mn and never apologises
- a 21-year-old girl who has huge breasts and touches her hair with a childish laugh after every sentence
- an innocent woman that you want to publicly show spite to

Often, all the bulllet points above apply to the same person. When that happens, you can be pretty sure that girl is "une sale grognasse" or "une énorme grognasse qui pue" (transl : "a huge bitch who stinks").

You would usually share the comment "quelle grognasse celle-là!" with your friends when the person is gone or cannot hear.

To sound cool, use "ma grognasse" to designate your girlfriend when you are with her best friend.

Radasse

French noun referring to a woman (not necessarily French) who inspires you disgust or scorn.
Can also be used as a mark of affection for friends you enjoy teasing.

Very often, you will realise that a 'radasse' is also a 'grognasse'. But not always.

"Grosse radasse, tu pourrais répondre à mes textos!!"

"Quoi, tu as invité cette vieille radasse de Gabrielle ? Cool ! :)" - use the context to know when radasse is used in a friendly way !
