I think it's something like "Holy fucking shit."

I suspect it's a very French saying that doesn't have direct translation to English since swearing in English is like a brick wall and swearing in French is like wiping your ass with silk.

I mean "Osti" refers to the holy ghost ("the host") iirc, and of course "calisse" refers to the chalice that holds the Jesus's blood. I think "tabarnak" also refers to a holy relic.

It's just the tabernacle, which is the little box Catholic churches store the communion wafers and wine in.
