| Jun 17, 2019 at 15:51 | comment | added | LPH | Yes, but that is not used to criticise the fictitious traditional Christmas character. I'm probably not wrong about that | |
| Jun 17, 2019 at 15:44 | comment | added | Greg | Just a touch of humor... Le Père Noël est une ordure is a famous French comedy play, with a movie adaptation possibly even more famous. The tilte was deemed so provocative that movie posters were banned by the RATP... It is known for its sarcastic humor, and some quotes are still popular catchphrases nowadays. Along with La Cité de la peur , it should be on anyone's bucket list to understand some popular French catchphrases (eg "Elle n'est pas moche. Elle n'a pas un physique facile." or "Je n'aime pas dire du mal des gens mais effectivement, elle est gentille." | |

| Jun 17, 2019 at 15:14 | comment | added | Greg | Possibly... but hey, after all: le père Noël est une ordure ! | |
| Jun 17, 2019 at 14:20 | comment | added | LPH | "Ordure" is much too strong from my point of view; it is a term that you use for torturers, people such as those we know from concentration camps, guilty of the worst cruelty, war criminals, wife battering husbands beating their wifet literally to death, people guilty of gratuitous cruelty to animals,… However, the TLFi does not include this extreme vileness in its definition and keeps to a mild caracterisation of the word. | |
