C'est une tuerie

It's incredibly good

FR
Example

Ton tiramisu, c'est une tuerie, sérieux !

When to use it

You taste your friend's homemade dessert and you're so impressed you say this right away at the table.

What it means

Literally "it's a killing / a slaughter."
In practice it means "it's amazing, it's incredibly good," especially for food, a song, an outfit, a movie, or a place. It's slangy and enthusiastic, and it exaggerates for effect, so you use it in friendly contexts-not formal or serious situations. Because the literal meaning is violent, avoid it around sensitive topics (actual crime, accidents), where it could sound tasteless.

Don't confuse it with

"C'est une tuerie" does not mean it's a total rip-off, it's a bad idea, it's a boring thing. It specifically means "It's incredibly good".

🎯 Why Learn French Dating and Relationship Language

Dating a French person or living in France means navigating a completely different communication culture.

If you've studied French for years but still feel lost during arguments with your French partner, confused by their texts, or awkward at family dinners, this course provides the missing vocabulary.
