French is such a beautiful language

It's been commonly used as a pejorative in French for a decade or so.

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?

average global-northern leftist elected politician, unfortunately.

I wasn't aware of her comment. Googling for it showed me an article in English saying she dropped the F bomb. I thought it was in an interview in English but no, she used it in French, which makes it a bit less impressive.

Pour les gens qui veulent pas googler, voici la citation exacte

« Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous ! »

Merci pour la citation. Indeed the fact she's used the English word makes it lose a bit of edge but still, the sentiment is there.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

Fuck all y'all.

I was sure this was fake until I saw some of the comments and looked it up. This is amazing!

She's kind of hated though. Also she absolutely is a hard lib, siding with Macron's government

Edit: i'm not saying lib as socially liberal as opposed to conservative

I feel like "fuck the French" is a prerequisite to being mayor or Paris

I can't believe Viggo Mortensen rode this bad boy all the way across that desert.
