FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Bafouer

Bafouer: To mock, to ridicule, to treat someone or something with extreme ignorance.

As seen in: « Le président français a hésité à se rendre au Sommet de la francophonie dans un pays, la République démocratique du Congo, qui bafoue la démocratie. »

(Translation: “The French president hesitated to go to the Summit of Francophones in a country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, which makes a mockery of democracy.”)
