Used mainly before the 20th century, it refers to a single woman who never had children, who never married, and who is now past child-bearing age (and presumably too old to attract a husband.)
bouger means to move. For instance,
"bouger un doigt" means to move a
finger. "ne bouge pas!" means do not
make a move.

Could you lovely contributors please
post pronunciations
/proh-nun-see-AY-shunz/, as well? I
hate when my relatives laugh at my
french skills. Thanks!
Pourriez-vous de beaux contribuants s'il
vous plait inclure des prononciations
/pr3n3'-sja-'sy3/, aussi bien? Je
deteste quand mes parents rient de mes
qualifications francaises. Merci!

bout in a way can mean penis. but the
most common definition is etremity, or
end. For intance, "au bout de la terre"
means the farthest end of the earth, or
the other side of the earth. And "bout
d'une phrase" means end of a sentence. [Comment by: Franco ]

au bout de la terre (end of the penis on
earth) is like cul de sac (ass of bag)
