Maigre
Maigre really means not containing meat or meat juices. One of my friends who reads the blog emailed me today to say it's also a French word meaning not containing much fat, in reference to meat or a slender person. So there you go. I checked on dictionary.com and it also mentioned a European fish as another meaning for maigre. Aren't we all learning a lot? Well done to Vicki B and Greta who tied with the highest number of votes on the poll.

Maigre is a convenient headache which languid heroines in romantic cum slightly outre novels have .
Oh darling - not tonight , I simply cant - I have such a terrible maigre - please pass me the sal volatile ( or whatever languid heroines like to sniff at , at times such as this )
Maigre is the feminine form of Ogre. She is a cruel, hideous giantess. Intrestingly, Maigres and Ogres rarely marry, for Maigres prefer trolls, while Ogres prefer witches.
Medieaval monks would offer a blessing called "maigre" to damsels lost in the woods.
maigre is such a familiar word! I think it means feeling blue.
Maigre are a fleshy subterranean fungus, similar to truffles but even more rare and much more of a delicacy. The pigs used to sniff out maigre are bred in only one place in France. Recently a dish containing truffles sold in a restaurant in Japan for $250 000. If that meal had contained maigre, the cost would have been doubled.
A maigre is a French eunuch. The term dates back to the time of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who housed all his mistresses in various chateaux around France. Concerned that these women might be wooed by other men in his absence, he appointed maigre to attend them. One such appointee, Jean Le Poux, was actually not a true maigre, and soon gained the reputation as the luckiest man in the Kingdom. Louis beheaded him, but not before he nearly died of exhaution. Ce La Vie
It's somewhat like a shed or a shack, commonly used by French shepherds of old. When the weather got ugly and a shepherd was out in the wild with his flock, he might mosey over to the maigre and camp out until the storm had passes.
Maigre means a large amount of: They were all stuffed after the maigre meal.
Maigre is the leader of a pack of wolves. The other wild dogs do not mess with the maigre. He is a fierce fighter and expects his "flock" to follow his "bark."
The maigre growled and bared his fangs at a playful, straggly young pup who did not listen to his warning about not making a move or a sound. The pup froze when it saw the maigre's teeth glinting in the moonlight.
You can always tell which one is the maigre. It's the largest dog in the pack.
The French say "Ce La Vie", the English say "Who Gives A Toss" and the Spanish say "Maigre".
Sonnjea B., I actually thought of that before I saw your definition! Great minds, right...? :P
In my world, maigre is an adjective used to describe the weak feeling you may get in your legs after strenuous swimming. "Feeling maigre and exhausted, John stumbled unsteadily toward the bench."
Dear vicki.b.
FYI - in Italian it is Me Ne Frego, which also happens to be the name of a wonderful Italian restaurant in Manuaku Road, which I highly recommend a visit to. If you take your own gluten-free pasta he will cook it up in a meal for you, with enough left over for your lunch the next day! Apologies, Word Imperfect, for inappropriate use of your blog.
