/køm/

💡

Cultural Note

Verlan of 'mec' (guy) — mec → ce-mé → keum. The masculine counterpart to 'meuf.' While 'mec' is casual-but-acceptable, 'keum' signals you're deep in the slang zone. Popular in rap lyrics and banlieue culture. If someone calls you 'un bon keum,' take the compliment — it means you're a solid dude.

📝 Example Sentences

Elle sort avec un keum trop stylé.
