Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

PLEUTRE (s. m.)

Terme de mépris. Homme sans courage et sans capacité.

C'est nous dire : Voilà comme les braves font ; Et c'est une façon, à nous qui restons neutres, De nous faire sentir que nous sommes des pleutres (V. HUGO Un bon bourgeois.)

Tandis qu'on voit un tas de pleutres, d'ignorants et de pas grand'chose entasser des millions (REYBAUD J. Paturot, I, 3)

ÉTYMOLOGIE

Wallon, pleutt ; champ. plaut, plautre. Origine inconnue. Génin, Récréat. t. I, p. 169, suppose que c'est une contraction de l'ancien belleudre, qui avait aussi un sens injurieux :Ces belleudres veulent-ils faire les maistres ? (DU CANGE balens) Diez est tenté de le rapprocher de poltron. Peut-on le rapprocher de peautre 1 ? Voy. ce mot.
