FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Vilipender

Vilipender: To condemn, to denigrate, to treat with contempt.

As seen in: « Après une «excellente» première rencontre avec Stephen Harper il y a quelques jours, Pauline Marois a durci le ton contre Ottawa en vilipendant la politique étrangère du Canada lors d’une allocution à Paris. »

(Translation: “After an ‘excellent’ first meeting with Stephen Harper a few days ago, Pauline Marois got tough on Ottawa by condemning Canada’s foreign policy during a speech in Paris.”)
