They swear, but the religious swears are the domain of the Quebecois. Anyway, surprised the waiter even said, "non." I'm my experience more likely to say they didn't understand you and then ignore you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children) Ahh. I live next to Quebec, didn't realize that was a regional thing. What's a good French swear a Frenchman would use? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Kamsaa@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) The equivalent to tabernacle may be " Bordel" (brothel) but I'm not sure (I'm French and we never use tabernacle). Overall our swears tend to lean towards sexuality more than religion e.g. "putain de bordel de merde ça me casse les couilles" (i.e. shitty brothel's whore, this breaks my balls). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vga@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I heard an authentic "putain de canard" from a parisian lady who was ascending from the metro and there was a bunch of pigeons on the stairs. Which when translated to my native finnish was "vitun ankat" (fucking ducks), which I thought at the time as being the funniest shit I've heard in french. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kamsaa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Lol, that must have been really fun ! Are you sure it wasn't "putain de cOnnard" (I.e. f*cking *sshole) though? That sure does sound French ! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vga@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago Are you sure it wasn’t “putain de cOnnard” (I.e. f*cking *sshole) though? Of course I'm not sure. I've studied french for 6 years, practiced it alone for a few years, and real french pronunciation confuses the hell out of me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago IIRC putaine (used by the connector above), salope, merde. Basically calling things sluts and whores and saying shit. permalink fedilink source parent
