Merde: French-English translation and use

Study French in France each day by reading new French words on the toilet…

Literary "merde" means the brown stuff the French deposit in their French toilet each day… Yet it is not used as such.

The French language uses merde when:

• like on the picture: Merde! : the Microsoft stock dropped 10 points…
  
• like you ran fast to catch the bus but… Merde! I just missed it
• like you forget the appointment with your boss… Merde!

So the French word "merde" is more or less the equivalent of the English "Oh Shit" and "Shoot".

Merde: French language history…

In the French history books… It is said that one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s French generals in the end of the battle at Waterloo was asked to surrender. The general responded by taking his sable and run into the enemy shouting: Merde!
