dernier cri: the latest fashion

how to use in casual conversation

"i heard thinly veiled racist rhetoric is dernier cri in the right talk show scene of late"
"dernier cri is my raison d'etre"
"i eat dernier cri and i poop post-modernism"

not to be confused with

derriere

how it makes me feel

i like skinny jeans. but thats because i'm skinny. i don't buy girl jeans or anything because i'm not that skinny yet. otherwise i'm not all that concerned with dernier cri. i keep wanting to call it 'the dernier cri' but it feels like a grammatical f'up. it's a solid WOTD entry except that it's in FRENCH! i don't have anything against the french as a whole i just don't like most of the french people i've known. and the language??? geez louis. name one 7 letter word in english where you only actually pronounce 3 of the letters. that sums up my experience with college level french.

i digress.

i think it could definitely be worked into use for a short period of time. but watch out, it could make you look very very douchey. used well (and assuming you have enough cred) it could give you an aura of hip intellectualism that could only come with diligent study of WOTDs.
