9-3 m (uncountable)

  1. (colloquial, derogatory) the department of Seine-Saint-Denis

This is the only case of a French department's number whose ciphers are spelled separately. The spelling as a whole is also common (quatre-vingt-treize) – as it is the case of any other department – and is not derogatory.
