You're posting in England to an English speaking group. The English
translation of conne is ****.

I think you will find that many people translate it as 'bitch'. Not so
bad after all

'Une conne' is commonly used to mean an idiot or a stupid thing/person, is
it not?

Whatever. I must admit, it is not a word I use at all, either in
English or any other language.

"connard" may be taken as bitch or that other word, according to the
alternative dictionary Janet referred to, so that's probably what you had in
mind.

I would NEVER use it, which is why I didn't repeat it in the email!

What email? If you mean posting, you repeated it in the posting before
last g. If you emailed me, I didn't get it. If I did get it and
rejected it, I am sorry because I certainly wouldn't intentionally have
done so. Confused.

Sorry I meant I didn't use it in the posting to the newsgroup, I
should have omitted more and left the preceding message in .........

Of a woman, it's 'garce'.

Good luck with the move. Having looked through the one Janet posted, I'd
take a copy of that, too, if only to avoid a few faux pas!
