Explanation:
I think you'll find in your context it must be a typo for 'blaireau', a badger.

The term is also used in slang to mean something like 'a prat' (well, at least that's what it seems to mean when they say it about me!)

agree  Calou: Yes...or "a nerd" !!! Quel blaireau !!! ;o)

  -> Gee thanks! I think I'd rather be just a 'prat', though! :-))
agree  Bourth (X): Don't let those prats badger you, Dusty. Than again, maybe those folks were burgl(ariz)ed by a bunch of out-of-control shaving brushes!

  -> Ooh, Alex, you DO come out with them! But you know, those shaving brushes can be nasty lot when they get together in a gang... Got me in a proper lather the other day!
