Les enfants

Today, synonyms for un(e) enfant = a child (the 't' is silent). All are colloquial:
  • un(e) mioche
  • un gamin / une gamine
  • un moutard - this one doesn't have a feminine that I know of. Moutarde means mustard.
  • un(e) gosse - careful with using this one in Quebec, where it is slang for testicle
  • un(e) môme
  • un morveux / une morveuse (slang) - from la morve, which means snot.
