Examples from texts

We climbed up, facing the rain that beat on us in the dusk and began to blind us—the cold and wet fairly smacked us in the eye, flop!—and broke our ranks like machine-guns.
On y grimpe, face à la pluie qui nous tapait d’sus et commençait dans l’ombre à nous aveugler – on se sentait l’froid mouillé dans l’œil, v’lan ! – et à nous mettre en débandade, tout comme des mitrailleuses.

He'd sit down all of a sudden, put on a stupid look, do the scrim-shanker stunt, and flop like a bundle of dirty linen.
I’ s’laissait tomber assis. I’ prenait un air con. I’ faisait l’saucîsson. I’ d’venait comme un paquet de linge sale.

Then at last the legs of it—they'd been pulled about so—came unstuck at the knees, and his breeks tore away, and all the lot came, flop!

It is soaked and heavy, and it flops about, and tumbles down on you, and clings round your head and makes you mad.
La toile ruisselle et pèse. Elle claque au vent, s’abat sur vous, s’entortille autour de votre tête et vous, vous sentez la crise de nerfs qui pointe.

I could hear the post-mistress enjoining Franz not to keep the gentleman waiting, and presently he came out and flopped into the driver's seat.
J’entendis la receveuse recommander à Franz de ne pas me faire attendre; il sortit presque aussitôt et s’installa au volant.

A heron flopped down to a pool in the stream and started to fish, taking no more notice of me than if I had been a milestone.
Un héron, à tire-d'ailes, s'abattit dans une vasque du torrent et se mit à pêcher, sans plus s'occuper de moi que si j'eusse été une borne milliaire.

But the voice that spoke was kindly, so with a heave he scrambled over and flopped into the trench.
Mais la voix qui lui parlait était très bienveillante, alors, il se hissa sur le bord et se laissa rouler dans la tranchée.

I couldn't stick that, old chap. I grabbed his arm just as he chucked the rice into the air, and it flopped down here in the trench.
C’te chose-là, j’ai pas pu l’encaisser, mon vieux, j’y ai empoigné l’abattis au moment ou i’ foutait son riz en l’air et l’riz a dégouliné ici, dans la tranchée.
