Cultural Note
Verlan of 'lourd' (heavy) — lourd → lour-de → relou. In standard French, 'lourd' already means 'annoying' in slang, so verlan-izing it is like double-encrypting your complaints. It's the universal eye-roll word. A relou person talks too much, a relou situation is tedious, and a relou ex keeps texting at 2 AM.
📝 Example Sentences

The teacher is such a pain, he always gives homework on Fridays.
