Cultural Note
Textbook French says 'trop' means 'too much' (as in excess). Slang French says 'trop' means 'very/so' (as in awesome). Your French teacher will die on this hill, insisting 'trop bon' means 'too good' not 'really good.' Meanwhile, every French person under 60 uses 'trop' as a positive intensifier daily. This is the hill where prescriptive grammar goes to lose gracefully.
