Ask Lemmy

"Chatte" (female cat) is the equivalent of pussy in english.

"Poulet" (chicken) is a cop. "Poulette" (hen) is a rather disrespectful word for a women.

"Gorille" (gorilla) is a tall muscular person.

"Cochon" (pig) is someone filthy, especially in the sexual sense. (can be used as an adjective, "films cochons" are porn films).

"Canard" (duck) can be a newspaper, or a mistake when playing music.

"Levrette" (female greyhound) is the name for the doggy style sexual position.

"Vache" (cow) can be either someone mean, either a cop. The second case is rarely used except in the sentence "Mort aux vaches" (death to the cops) and probably comes from the Wache germanic root for Guardian, rather than the actual animal.

In Italy "uccello" (bird) means penis in a very unformal context, usually used with friends. In Tuscany, for the regional ones, we have "Topa" (female of the mouse) to indicate a very pretty girl, also very unformal and a bit rude. Same translation for "passera" (female of the sparrow). Both can also indicate the literal female reproductive organe. "Gatta morta" (dead female cat) means somebody who acts ingenous or hide her personality under a chill, almost naif mask to act at the opportune moment.

Bird is slang for woman in the UK and in the Midlands duck is a slang for when you're talking to anyone
