French term or phrase: beur
Arabilor nascuti in Franta li se spune "beurs". Exista vreun echivalent in romana pentru "beur"? Orice sugestie e binevenita. Multumesc!

arab, maghrebin
Explanation:
E verlan (inversul cuvantului l'invers, ca meuf pentru femme, cem pentru mec etc). Cuvantul de la care se pleaca e arabe, beur nu e un cuvant nou.

GDT:
Arabe en verlan.
Jeune Arabe né en France de parents immigrés.
Note(s) :
Familier.
On rencontre le féminin « beurette ».
Anciennement trčs péjoratif, ce mot semble avoir acquis son droit d'asile dans le vocabulaire contemporain. Dans la pratique, il désigne surtout les jeunes Maghrébins dits « de la deuxičme génération ».
Argotique.
