Louchebem Louchbem or loucherbem is Parisian and Lyonnaise butchers' ( Fr. boucher) slang, similar to Pig Latin and Verlan. It originated in the mid-19th century. Each word is transformed by moving the first consonant to the end; and suffixes such as -me, -ji, -oc, -muche are added at the end; the letter "L" is placed at the beginning of the new word. Note that spelling often becomes phoneticized. - le boucher = Louchbem
- la femme = Lamf
- le monsieur = Lesieum
- le gigt = Ligogem
- le patron = Latronpuche
- le fou = Loufoque
Some words from Louchbem, most notably "loufoque" have become common and moved into everyday slang. External link
