point

point
n. m.
1. Franc. (Successive devaluations and the introduction of the nouveau franchave robbed this word of any exact value. It is usually to be found in that grey area of language hobnobbing with the underworld.)
2. Commencer à rendre des points: To be getting on in years and past one's professional prime. (This expression could be seen as having a similar meaning to rendre la monnaie. See monnaie.)
3. Point de chute: 'Haunt', regularly-frequented place. Quel est son point de chute? Where am I likely to find him?
4. Point noir. Arse-hole, anus (also: as de pique).
