KEUM— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

keum French verlan slang for "guy" or "man", from « mec ». It is used informally for a man or a boy, and is the male counterpart of « meuf ».

Origin:Wiktionnaire lists « keum » as a verlan of « mec », with the rare variant « keumé » and the derivative « ciskeum ». Its quotations come from texts about the banlieues and from familiar dialogue. It forms a pair with the existing « meuf » entry (verlan of « femme »). No dated first use is documented in the sources consulted.

MEUF— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

meuf Informal French word for a woman or girl, used in everyday speech roughly like "girl", "chick" or "girlfriend" depending on context (« ma meuf » can mean my girlfriend). The male counterpart is « keum ». It is casual and colloquial, and its tone ranges from neutral to dismissive depending on speaker and setting; it is not used in formal French.

Origin:Wiktionnaire records « meuf » as verlan of « femme » (the syllables are inverted), and cites the film À Nous les Garçons (1984) and, for the earlier form « meufa », a 1971 Jacques Dutronc song, though it flags those attestations as needing a better reference. It also lists « keum » as the male counterpart. The 'woman' sense is the dictionary meaning; no internet-specific first use is documented.
First Seen:Unknown (Wiktionnaire cites attestations from 1971 and 1984 for related forms; not independently confirmed)
Peak Era:1980s onward, widespread in 2010s youth speech
