branlocher

to shake, wobble slightly; to masturbate

Usage

A rare, informal verb meaning to jiggle or wobble slightly and repeatedly — a diminutive/intensive formation on branler. As with branler, the reflexive form se branlocher is vulgar slang for masturbating, so this word carries the same register risk in everyday speech.

Examples
  • La table branloche un peu sur ce sol inégal.The table wobbles a bit on this uneven floor.
  • Ce mot est très rare et surtout familier.This word is very rare and mostly familiar/colloquial.
  • Évite ce verbe à l'écrit, il est trop familier.Avoid this verb in writing, it's too colloquial.
Common mistake

This verb is obscure even to many native speakers — bouger légèrement or être bancal are far safer, clearer ways to describe something slightly wobbly, both in meaning and in avoiding the vulgar reflexive association.
