In a phrase from a book I'm reading, it is said that someone is "une tireuse de cartes dont le mari était aux galères." I do not understand this phrase, please clarify it for me.
Also, one of my French professors explained that "keuf", the slang word for a police officer, comes from something called "le verlan", like the opposite of "l'envers," and that "keuf" comes from "flic". Are many words in argot made this way?
merci beaucoup
