It's Quebec French slang actually. It can't be translated literally, but in English it would basically mean "F***ing piece of s***" :P

I kinda figured it was something like that. :P It's funny that Google translate choked on it and was like "what the heck is this! ???".

 - An android version of oxo (java)  ACTIVE
 - A 3D collision detection library (axe) RELEASED! (topic)(screenshot)(more recent screenshot)(screenshot of it being used in a tilemapper)
Spoiler For inactive:

 - A java MORPG. (pc) DEEP COMA(read more)(screenshot)

Butbutbut... The blue one is Yeong !

Also lol, I didn't call my CX CAS "GameBoy" but the GameBoy was the only reason why I bought it.
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.
