«La méthode à Mimile: L'argot sans peine» is the guide to French slang by Alphonse Boudard and Luc Etienne, in paperback, published by Editions du Rocher.
The book explores French slang, that popular language born as underworld jargon and later turned into verbal play; with humor and examples, it unpacks colloquial expressions, their history and everyday use.
It belongs to the Documents collection and appeared in 1998; the edition includes an epilogue by Jacques Cellard.
Recommended for readers curious about colloquial French, French popular culture and the history of language.
Alphonse Boudard was a French novelist and playwright. He won the 1977 Prix Renaudot for Les Combattants du petit bonheur. Boudard's 1995 novel Dying childhood was awarded and recognised by the French Academy with a Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française.
