"apache" was a word the French used to describe a low-grade street hoodlum in the early 20th century. The word for pimp is maquereau (mackerel!), but I suppose pimps are also apaches. I don't know why you've put an apostrophe after it each time - it doesn't have an accent on the e in French. <http://www.languefrancaise.net/Argot/Apaches > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
