Rural folks use "juif" and "juive" a lot when scolding children. Like "Viens ici ma petite juive que jte sacre une claque" which would roughly translate "Come her you little bastard (or some such) so I can slap you"

"juif" is also used a lot to refer to someone who is stingy, or tries to rip people off in a shop.

The actual saying is "Kraft meines Amtes", which means "by the power vested in me". But a lot of people also jokingly say "Kraft meiner Wassersuppe", which means "by the power of my water soup" and describes situations where a professional is called to make a decision due to his position but doesn't really have enough information to make an informed choice and is forced to go by his gut feeling. Water soup because the decision isn't backed up by solid facts.
