Last night I got a private message from another player who asked me if I was French.  He then proceeded to tell me that &#8220;nule&#8221; means something really vile in French.  That seems pretty unlikely to me, as I researched pretty thoroughly for any reference to &#8220;nule&#8221; before I chose this domain name, and it essentially returned nothing.  I also can&#8217;t find it in any French language dictionaries or any online slang dictionaries that have an entry for it or for close lexical variations.  The closest seems to be &#8220;nouille&#8221; which basically means &#8220;idiot&#8221;, which, if true, I can live with that.  Other references to Nule include some small towns in Italy and Portugal (Hi!) and it&#8217;s sometimes short for Nulia, which I guess is an uncommon Celtic woman&#8217;s name (how <em>you<\/em> doin&#8217;?)<\/p>\n<p>Any native speakers out there care to confirm or deny this?  Another possibility is that it&#8217;s an obscure Quebec slang word, of which I can find essentially zero information.
