gueuler
What does “gueuler” mean in English?
It means to shout or yell in a rough or loud way. It's more about the volume and intensity than a direct insult.
You might use it similarly to 'yell' or 'scream' in English, but it carries a slightly coarse tone. It's not necessarily aimed at someone, just describes how someone is expressing themselves.

Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
