Fessebouc ?

  1. (humorous, derogatory) Facebook.
    • Or nombre d’entreprises craignent que leurs salariés n’aillent surfer sur internet, cette télévision couleur interactive désormais posée sur chaque bureau, se consacrent largement à leur courriel privé, ou passent des heures sur le Web 2 (ah, Meetic ou FesseBouc !) voire à des enregistrements ou streamings tout à fait illégaux. (Jean-Emmanuel Ray, Droit du travail Droit vivant 2008-2009, 2008.)
      Yet plenty of businesses fear that their workers will surf on the internet, that interactive color TV now stuck to every desk, take up most of their time reading private emails, spend hours on hours on Web 2.0 (aah, Meetic, Spankbilly-goat), or even spending time totally illegal streaming.
