    • 2010, Michel Castaigna, La Dictée miraculeuse[1], page 37:
      Deux heures du matin, se disait-il, moins dix degrés, un brouillard à couper au couteau, un quartier sans intérêt, un mot de passe débile, quelques sous-officiers et sentinelles sans la moindre motivation et cinq cents troufions qui roupillent en attendant le jus tiède du matin [...]
      Two o'clock in the morning, he thought, minus ten degrees, a pea-souper of a fog, nothing interesting in the area, a stupid password, a few NCOs and sentries who had not a shred of motivation, and five-hundred squaddies dozing off as they waited for their warm juice in the morning []
  2. (finance) daybook
