FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Limoger

Limoger: To dismiss someone from their rank as an officer or their role in the civil service.

As seen in: « Mohamed Morsi a engagé un bras de fer décisif avec la puissante armée égyptienne en limogeant le maréchal Hussein Tantaoui, pilier du régime Moubarak, et en abrogeant un décret rognant ses pouvoirs. »

(Translation: “Mohamed Morsi has declared a decisive battle against the powerful Egyptian army by dismissing Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, a pillar of the Mubarak regime, and by scrapping a decree that defined his powers.”)
