bougnoule

wog; raghead (person of North African descent)

“Jeune, j'ai le souvenir d'une madame Nicole / Instit' qui pensait qu'un bougnoule n'était pas fait pour l'école” — I remember when I was young there was a Madame Nicole / A primary school teacher who thought that a wog was not cut out for school

Borrowed from Wolof ñuul (“black, to be black”), wu ñuula (“a person who is black”), fas wu ñuul (“black horse”), 1890. The original phrase is sometimes offensive in the Wolof language.
