coupe de merde 

To cup ones hand and fart in it, then put said hand over another persons nose and mouth.

Roughly translated from french: "shallow cup or bowl of shit".

For maximum effect the first part of this maneuver should be performed by surreptitiously cupping the gaseous expulsion while having your hand down both your pants and underwear. The second part should be done ambush style while saying "la coupe de merde!"

bordel de merde

The French slang expression bordel de merde ("whorehouse of shit") is a more explicit variant of merde ("shit"), and is used to indicate one's frustration/anger/disappointment with a strongly unpleasant situation.

In some French regions, notably in the south of France, an even more eloquent variant is used with the wonderful expression "bordel ton cul qui pompe merde".

Literally: "whorehouse your ass that pumps/squirts shit."
Tu m'as foutu, bordel de merde! = You fucked me, fucking crap (whorehouse shit)!
Tu m'as foutu , bordel ton cul qui pompe merde! = You fucked me, whorehouse your ass that squirts shit!

Creme de la merde

A play of words on "Creme de la creme" meaning "Cream of the cream", this quite literally means "Cream of the shit", for use in describing the worst of the worst of the worst, as invented by a bored French Student one day.
"I'm going to drop all hell on Marketing, I need you to find the "Creme de la merde" of your office to send over there, okay?"

bordel de merde

litteraly : "whorehouse of shit" it is a superlative of "merde" (shit ..turd) but used in a extremly disapointed situation example: a guy found out his girl getting pound by other men would say: " mais on etait supposés etre fidels l 'un a l'autre bordel de merde!! ( fuck!! we were supposed to be faithfull to eachother)
