French term

poche (c'est poche)

French to English Art/Literary Slang General public (marketing study-Canadian French)
I have some terms in a translation that I am not 100% sure of - I don't normally work with Canadian French.

If my colleagues would be so kind as to help me out...thanks very much! If you think these should be non-pro, I will change the classification.
Proposed translations (English)

agree Rafael Wugalter (X) : I prefer this one to "sucks" because there's often an "uncool" element to it, which is not specifically conveyed by the "suckage".
