What does raconteur mean?

Seriously?
“One who tells stories and anecdotes with skill and wit.
“[French, from raconter, to relate, from Old French : re-, re- + aconter, to count up, reckon; see account.]”
I truly didn’t know what it meant. Had to look it up. Hence the <dfn> tag ;)

Also, in French, to call someone a “raconteur” it means that they’re up-telling a story and a lot of it is exaggerated. There are a lot of “raconteurs” around Marseilles ;-)
Another way to put it is: “Oh la la, comme il se la raconte!”
