Not even all French people know what margoulette means, so this is a way to really advance your language skills. Later, margoulette has come to mean the whole body, especially when used in the expression se casser la margoulette. Margoulette is used in a similar manner:Je me suis cassée la margoulette en faisant du vélo ce week-end - I fell over while biking this weekend. Elle voulait grimper le mur, mais elle s'est cassée la margoulette - she wanted to climb the wall, but she fell down. However sometimes margoulette can be used as an informal way of saying visage (face), yet nicer way of saying gueule.
