Dépanneur == Convenience store Dépanneuse == Tow truck Il m'a dépanné en me prêtant vingt dollars. == He lent me $20 to help me out. Ah la belle langue!

  This is all unique to Quebecois, right? I think in France, you'd hear débrouiller more in that third case.

    No. Even in France and beyond (i.e. outside of Quebec) you could hear "dépanne-moi", meaning "help me out (with money)". Dépanneur as convenience store could be a Quebec thing.

      Yes, in for "dépanne-moi de 10 balles" but "dépanneur" without context is more someone coming to fix your car or your washing machine.
