Cultural Note
Verlan of 'fête' (party) — fê-te → te-fê → teuf. While 'fête' conjures images of birthday cake and streamers, 'teuf' implies something wilder — think warehouse raves, teknivals, and waking up in a field somewhere in the French countryside. The free party/rave scene in France literally calls itself 'le mouvement teuf.' If someone invites you to a teuf, pack earplugs and low expectations for sleep.
