SDF

French Word of the Day: SDF. It's an acronym for "sans domicile fixe"....or "without a fixed home." So basically, it's the French politically-correct term for homeless person. Good to know that PC-ness has infiltrated societies other than America. In a similar light, Claire tells me that janitors are called "techniciens surface" and dwarfs are now called "personnes de petites tailles" (person of small height).

Between 2000-5000 SDFs are estimated to sleep in the streets of Paris each night.
