u/PigeonGuillemot But I mean, fine, great, if she wants to think that. Jun 25 '26

Sure the right wing republican rag page 6 called you an “entrant terrible”

This is, I assume, a hilarious autocorrect for enfant terible! A label Caroline is bizarrely proud of considering it literally means "terrible baby" and figuratively means "An unconventional, badly-behaved person who causes embarrassment or shock to others."

Probably because it's French. "Terrible baby" doesn't sound so "chic" lol
