    "The influence of Paris’ banlieue on …French slang is unmistakable.

    #Verlan — a linguistic process that often alters the meaning of standard French terms — was used in the suburbs before making its way into widely-spoken French. Its vocabulary borrows from various languages, such as Arabic or Romani…"

    So, after learning 18th century French in #LesMiserables, one has to learn contemporary French slang by listening to #PNL rap!

    May i give a little background?

    „Laisse béton“ is a verlan expression.

    #Verlan is a funny french #argot. It’s own name already expresses what it means: „verlan“ is created by the french expression „l'envers“ (inverse): In the argot (among others) typically syllables are exchanged, so: „l'envers“ -> „verlan“.

    „Laisse béton“ now in french means: „„Laisse tomber“: let it be, forget it.

    Now this nice verlan streetart makes a little more sense 😉
