Definition: The word "Bobeau" is a French term that refers to an area or town located in the eastern part of Quebec, Canada. It's named after Saint-Béguin de Bocoeuf, which was once the site of an important pilgrimage and royal residence. "Bobo", as it is called, means "the city of the devil." In French culture, a person from such an area would be considered "bobo" because they were said to have the power to harm or deceive others. Bœau in Quebec is used to denote this type of people who are inherently evil and can cause problems for those around them. The word "Bobeau" was first coined by Louis Le Prince de Champlain, a French explorer, as an adjective that could mean anything from being "the devil's abode," to the land itself or even a specific neighborhood within the city. However, it quickly became associated with bad luck and misfortune in Quebec. Today, "Bobeau" is generally understood as a negative adjective that reflects the idea of someone from a troubled place or a location deemed unlucky.
