FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Joute

Joute: A battle or test of wits between two men; literally, a joust.

As seen in: « Le réseau Twitter s’enflamme régulièrement lors des grands débats télévisés politiques. Ce fut encore le cas lors des joutes oratoires entre Barack Obama et Mitt Romney. »

(Translation: “Twitter lights up regularly during televised political debates, which was the case once again during the verbal jousts between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.”)
