Whore = “une putain” (this has been known to create muffled sniggers when the Russian president visited France, as “Putin” is not a million miles away from “putain”, pronunciation-wise.)
“How do you say ‘redneck’ in French?”
A possibly dated way of calling somebody a redneck is to use the phrase “pied-noir”, or blackfoot: this alleges both an intimate association with the fine soil of France (“red-neck” is also an insult thrown at dim yokels whose necks grow sunburnt due to toil in the fields) and a disposition to avoid washing said feet so there’s only one way they can go. “Pied-noir” was an insult often thrown at French colonists in Algeria, who saaw themselves and their country as being French, whilst French people from the mainland saw them as peculiar white African colonists - much as the British view white South Africans, in fact.
Ie, a thick inbred yokel hillbilly with an aversion to soap…
