A word for heartbreak or deep emotional distress, especially after a breakup — "être en goumin" describes being genuinely wrecked over someone, used across French youth slang with roots in Ivorian Nouchi.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Depuis la rupture il est en plein goumin."
LORE & ORIGIN
Traces to Nouchi, the highly productive Ivorian French-based slang that has become a major, ongoing source of vocabulary for French youth slang more broadly — diffusing into mainland French youth speech (documented notably around Marseille) via rap, social media, and cross-Mediterranean cultural exchange rather than being a France-original coinage, part of a wider pattern including terms like wesh and c'est un pain.
