When and why to rouméguer? 🤨

You know, that moment when someone cuts in on you in the queue 🛒, or when the sea wind knocks over your glass of rosé 🌬️🍷… That's when we roumègue ! 😡

It is the ancestral art of complaining, of ranting against everything and nothing with passion and exaggeration.
In the South, rouméguer is almost a tradition! No real reason needed – the weather, traffic or life in general are more than enough. 🚗🌞

Typical examples of roumégades:

• "Pfff, this wind is blowing your hair again! It's getting on my nerves!" 🌪️
• "We're not in Paris here, move your cart!" 🛒😤
• “Pastis is too clear, it’s a scandal!” 🍸😱

In short… “Me fas caga!!!” 😅 – A magic phrase to punctuate any good roumegade .
