Gut rot

Moved on yesterday from the yellow dog story to 'La Nuit du Carrefour' and a whole new crop of interesting words.

So this morning, having taken on some white last night, we have 'tord-boyaux', literally twist (tord) intestines (boyaux). But according to Larousse a proletarian term for a cheap but strong eau de vie.

Reference 1: http://psmv3.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/woolly-pully.html. For the last outing of this sort.
