That’s French for “What is that?”

French for "what is ... ?"
Pronounced like "kess-ku-say"
Everybody else pitched in on "Yobs", which is easier than saying "misguided youths who must be treated like delicate porcelain in order to avoid damaging their already inadequate self esteem". Another good British-ism is "lager louts", but that's usually only used in reference to high spirited soccer fans.
In the good old days a judge would call them likely recruits for Army or Navy boot camp in lieu of a long stay in a state penitentiary.

If I remember French I correctly, it means “what is” as in What does Yobs mean - what are yobs.

"BTW.. What in samhell does Qest qe cest mean?" An easy way to decipher any word or phrase you don't understand is to simply cut and paste it into Google. Works like a charm.
