LORE & ORIGIN
Wiktionnaire records « reum » as an apocope of « reumé », a verlan of « mère », sourced to Le Dictionnaire de la Zone and illustrated with a literary quotation from Annie Ernaux. Its male counterpart is « reup » (« père »). It sits in the same verlan family as the existing « meuf » (« femme »). No dated first use is documented in the sources consulted.
