Hi Heidi,

You could write Cagnotte pour la France.

Good lord, no.

"Fric" is slang. And slang, used in the wrong context, would sound ridiculous. And on a piggy bank, it would be, without even being funny.

In addition, "fric" is a word in decline. People over 40 still use it a lot, but younger generations don't. Slang is something that keeps changing all the time and using tacky slang terms is the best way to sound like an older person.

Understanding slang is very important, but using it right can be tricky.
