Word to the Wise: Roue
by ETR (05/7/2008)
A "roue" (roo-AY) - from the French - is a man devoted to a life of sensual pleasure.
Example (as used by Rex Roberts in a review of the movie Quills): "Yet he [the Marquis de Sade] acted the roue to the end, carrying on an intimate liaison with a girl who worked at the asylum - he was 74, she was 17."
