Bonjour
I'm having a problem with this clause from a novel: "... sous les yeux cancres et rigolards de leurs jeunes amants." I don't know what the word 'cancre' means here. I can only find a noun meaning 'dunce' but I cannot find in any dictionaries an adjectival definition or use as in this example. Help please.
Philip
