What does bobo mean in French?

"Bobo" in French is a slang term that has several meanings depending on the context:

1. "Stupid" or "silly": This is the most common meaning of "bobo" in everyday French. It's similar to the English word "silly" or "dumb."

2. "Injured": This meaning is less common than the first, but it's still used. It refers to a physical injury, like a bump or bruise. You might say "J'ai fait un bobo" (I got an injury).

3. "Upper-middle class": This meaning is specific to a particular cultural phenomenon in France. It refers to a group of people who are often wealthy, educated, and live in a certain style. It's a bit like the "yuppie" stereotype in English, but with a more French flavor. This meaning can be a bit controversial as it can be used in a derogatory way.

4. "Bohemian": This meaning is more related to the "bobo" lifestyle, and refers to the artsy, creative, and unconventional aspects of this group.

The best way to understand the meaning of "bobo" is to look at the context it's used in.

Example:

* "Tu es un bobo!" (You're a silly/stupid person!)

* "J'ai fait un bobo à mon genou." (I hurt my knee.)

* "Les bobos aiment bien les cafés bio." (The "bobos" like organic cafes.)
