Abstract
When Nicolas Sarkozy, then as President of the French Republic, visit officially the Agricultural show in February 23, 2008, a visitor refuse one of his hand-shakes after be boo and reply: “Oh no, touch me not ...’’. At these words, the President of Republic replies: “Get out then, silly man” told by N. Sarkozy and became culte today. This exchange of insults permits to ask about symbolism of the outrageant speaks. Reached in his body, he becomes insulted insulter. He takes the initiative to risk a new load from his interlocutor. Our analysis is based on the speaking slots with the symbolic dimension of corporeity. After an overview of the insult in the history of the language, we will see how the discourse is articulated between the two characters and see how and why “casse-toi pauvre con” became a slogan and famous today.
