I didn't know this verb Puer or Nuer
_____________________
"|ca pue du bec." (Literal: It stinks from the beak.)
The Meaning: It means someone has terrible bad breath, but it is also
used figuratively to say a situation looks highly suspicious or "fishy."
"Plus |oa pue, plus |oa se vend." (Literal: The more it stinks, the more
it sells.)
---- This is how Trump got elected, twice.
"Sunt pueri pueri, pueri puerilia tractant."

iris the universe...)
