Where it comes from

Borrowed from French Pierre. Doublet of Peter.

proper noun

  1. A male given name from French, of occasional usage, equivalent to English Peter. The Ferraris pressed the self-destruct button, Lewis Hamilton lost his spot on the podium, and there were champagne moments for Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz Jr.
  2. A surname from French. In his cast of characters, you really see a disproportionate focus, I think, on Black women - on Kamala Harris, who he's insinuated only has her job today because of who she dated; to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who he's demanded the LSAT scores of - I don't recall him demanding the LSAT scores for
  3. The capital city of South Dakota, United States, and the county seat of Hughes County.
