''Enfant terrible'' (; (:ɑ̃fɑ̃ tɛʁibl); (英語:"unruly child")) is a French expression, traditionally referring to a child who is terrifyingly candid by saying embarrassing things to parents or others.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='enfant terrible )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=enfant%20terrible )〕 However, the expression has drawn multiple usage in careers of art, fashion, music, and other creative arts. In these careers, it implies a successful "genius" who is very unorthodox, striking, and in some cases, offensive, or rebellious.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=enfant terrible )〕 The ''Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd edition, gives the definition: "A child who embarrasses his elders by untimely remarks; transf. a person who compromises his associates or his party by unorthodox or ill-considered speech or behaviour; loosely, one who acts unconventionally." ''Webster's Dictionary'' also defines an ''enfant terrible'' as an unusually successful person who is strikingly unorthodox, innovative, and/or avant-garde. ==See also==
