French is such a beautiful language
She actually used English (for 'fuck' anyway), which surprised me.
It's been commonly used as a pejorative in French for a decade or so.
I remember sitting in a cafe in Copenhagen and overhearing a conversation at the table next to mine. I had no idea what they were talking about but "fucking" was the only word I recognized. It was about every third word they said.
Au Canada, le juron francais que j'entends est 'tabarnak', 'calice', 'ostie' au lieu de 'fuck.'
(So I was surprised)
Pourtant c'est plutôt commun au Québec. Ça s'enchaîne pas comme les sacres liturgiques mais c'est bien utilisé. Quelque chose peut être fucké. Une personne peut être fuckée. C'est fucking chiant. Fuck ça! Juste, fuck!
Did she say "Pardon my English" afterwards?
Baise aux réacs !
