LekhoriLekhoriThe lowest class of people; the rabble; the vulgar.
I was on a rampart watching the enemy pitch their camp; and, seeing the crowd of idlers round the stream, I asked M. du Pont, commissary of the artillery, to send one cannon-shot among this canaille: he gave me a flat refusal, saying that all this sort of people was not worth the powder would be wasted on them.
Shorts or inferior flour.
Borrowed from Middle French canaille.
