habitué: /huh-bich-oo-ey/

a frequent or habitual visitor to a place


how to use in casual conversation:

"i could easily see myself becoming a
habitué of titty bars, but not until i am much, much older."

not to be confused with:

festue

how it makes me feel:

xenophobic. look, i don't believe that it's ok to pre-judge any person based on where they come from or look like. it's just kind of wrong. sure there are certain qualities that are unique to each culture; we all want to be part of something and sometimes the best way of doing that is to choose some arbitrary way of doing things, propagating it through the culture, eventually, collectively saying "it's just who we are". but with that said, i hate the french. not because of WWII, not because they wouldn't invade iraq, just because i hate arrogance. also (may have said this before) i used to work for a french company and let's just say i wouldn't do that again. so while i would never turn my back on french person, i can say, without reservation, fuck the french.

  1. I kind of like the word, because it has that "bich" sound in it. I can feel naughty saying it but not saying a naughty word! And re: the French - I used to date a French guy, and so I did (as you say) "F" the French. It was fun for awhile, but then his true French colors came out and it was all over. Never trust the French!
