| has gloss | (noun) a French soldier (especially in World War I) poilu |
| has gloss | eng: Poilu (, ) is a warmly informal term for a French World War I infantryman, meaning, literally, hairy one. The term came into popular usage in France during the era of Napoleon Bonaparte and his massive citizen armies, though the term grognard (grumbler) was also common. It is still widely used as a term of endearment for the French infantry of World War I. The word carries the sense of the infantryman's typically rustic, agricultural background. Beards and bushy moustaches were often worn. |

Termin pochodzi od słowa poile (pl. włos) i wziął się od faktu, że niektórzy żołnierze podczas wojny nie golili się, przez co posiadali bujne brody oraz wąsy, określenie przyjęło się jednak dla wszystkich walczących podczas wojny. |
