by the French soldiers when speaking
Of the Germans. The correct expiana-
ton is probably as fellow g. hoehe In
''bochon," An abbreviation of "cabo-
chon). This Is a recognized French
word used familiarly for head" espe.
is derived from the Latin word "caput"
and tho suffix "oceus." Boche seems
to have been used first in the under
world OF Paris about 1860. with the
nearing Of a disagreeable, troublesome
fellow. In the Franco Prussian War
Of 1870 It was not APPLIED to the Ger
piled by the Partisan printers to their
German assistants because Of the re-
putod slowness OF comprehension of
these foreign printers. The epithet
had the meaning Of tete carreo dali
lemond." The next step was to apply
"boche" to Germans in general. "Poilu"
Is a nickname. and means hairy, or
shaggy, and probably was suggested
by the unshnven faces OF the French
soldiers during the time OF their re-
treat from the Mnrne The word is
generally used in France to denote q
man OF strength and character. tho
idea being that men with hairy faces
and arms and chests are strong.
