Cultural Note
Rencard (also spelled 'rancard') is the informal, slangy version of 'rendez-vous.' It's the word younger French people actually use when talking about dates. Originally from argot (French slang), it literally comes from 'se rencarder' meaning to get information. It's much more casual than 'rendez-vous.'
