Wanna learn the swear words and French Expressions... come here!

Lacrosse is a sport, usually spelled lacross. In French, LaCrosse would be LaCroix (pronounced la crwah). The spelling LaCrosse would have no religious connotation in Quebec. Usually, some car models are changed to cater to Canadian tastes, to fool them into thinking it was designed just for them. Despite websites that reveal this silliness, some Canadians are still fooled by marketing ploys of this sort.

That wasn't what I was getting at though, the OP's topic is French language vulgar words.

And I responded. LaCrosse, as in the vehicle, has no connotation in French as a vulgar word. The thread has numerous examples and a good explanation of how religious profanity is ethnocentric in Quebecois swearing. As already mentioned, LaCrosse means nothing in French - it's an English construct.

Why, has someone told you it was a naughty word in Quebecois French?

ooh, this thread is great! i did french in uni and (unfortunately) we did not learn any casual/slang french at all! but in any case, i didnt need my tutor saying dirty french words to me to make him sound sexy - his accent alone works just fine.

Swear expression in French?
Le Fucque You!

You watch too much of Pepe la pew :rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[SimplyJakeAndAlex]

merde =putain = whore

Putain = Whore but it's mostly used in Paris French for about everything...
Eh Bien Putain Julie mais que me fait tu la? - Geez whiz Julie what the hell are you doing.

In quebec when we use putain, it is a very pejorative word and we majorly use it to insult the girls. Such as "Motherfucker and Son of a Bitch" will be translate to "enfant de putain" [son of a whore] Althouh for "motherfucker" in Fance we will use "ta mere" [your mom] which means "I fucked your mom"

LaCrosse is indeed a sport but if you separate them as [la crosse], the verb "se crosser" means [to masturbate] but this was used mostly in the early 90s. There was an insult in Quebec which was as similar as "get lost" and it was as follow [ va donc t'crosser] which mean [ go masturbate oneself]

... so when someone from Quebec visit your country and say "Estie d'tabarnac d'epais" you will know that it's a direct insult and yes at this point you should punch him in the face :rofl::rofl::rofl:.

As a starter example, a very popular one is Póg mo Thóin (pronounced "Pogue Muh Hone"), which means "kiss my backside". A popular hobby here in Ireland for bored teenager is to tell gullible Americans it means "good morning"

When you don't speak the language, the most insulting words can sound beautiful compliments :rofl:

And here some examples in Finnish (the little boy does have a filthy mouth) :rofl:

10 Favorite French Swear Words

[FONT=&quot]They are mostly used in France, but also used in Quebec in some occasions[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
1. Merde!(maird)
This translates quite literally as “shit.” You’ll definitely hear “merde” used in France in as wide of a context as “shit” in English. Sometimes, for extra emphasis, you’ll hear people say “MAIR-duuuhhhh” instead of the more accurate “maird”.



2. Putain!/Pute!(Poo-TAHN)/(poote)
This word packs a serious punch, so use it with caution (and maybe not in mixed company). Putain literally translates as “whore,” but tends to be used more like the word “fuck” in English. Not only can it be used as an emotional reaction to something, like “Fuck!” in English, you can also direct it at someone in particular, “ça pute” (that whore). People joke that the word “fuck” can be used as every part of speech in English, and in French, putain functions much the same way.



3. Chiant/ça me fait chier(CHI-ant)/(sa meh fey CHIay)
This word is most commonly used in the context of “ça me fait chier,” which translates as a more vulgar version of “that pisses me off.” Now the very word [chier] means "to poo". So when you say “ça me fait chier,” you are literally saying [it makes me poo]



4. Salope! (sal-OPE)
You’ll most likely be directing this one at someone in particular, rather than as an angry expletive shouted in response to something. It translates as “bitch,” and is used pretty much exactly the same way the word is used in English. Also, like in English, you can incorporate this word into a a phrase like “fils de salope” (son of a bitch).
*salaud (pronounced sal-OH) is the masculine version



5. Foutre/ Je m’en fou (FOO-truh)/(Juh men foo)
Again, although you may hear this dropped around a lot, use it with caution as “foutre” is the verb for “to fuck.” You’ll most often hear this in the phrase “je m’en fou,” which essentially means “I don’t give a fuck.” This also became one of my favorite phrases while I was living in Pairs and it was another one that would make my grande tante (great aunt) cringe when it slipped out at home.


6. Con/conasse/connard (cohn)/(con-ASS)/(con-ARD)
This is often used as “ass” in French, though it is also sometimes translated as a milder “idiot.”



7. Nique ta mere! (neek tah mare)
Watch out for this curse, as it literally translates as “fuck your mother.” This phrase is not only extremely vulgar, but also very offensive and should be reserved for situations when only the most extreme curse is needed.



8. Ta Gueule! (ta-GOOL) that's your famous [ferme la bouche]

This is just about the rudest way possible of telling someone to shut up. While it does not really have an exact equivalent or translation in English, it’s kind of like saying “shut the fuck up,” or “shut your trap.” You’ll definitely hear this in banter among friends, but it can also be used in a really insulting way.



9. Casse-toi! (kass-twah)
This insult is kind of like a very rude way of saying “bugger off,” or maybe even “fuck off.” Combined with another expletive (like “con”), it can actually pack quite a powerful punch.



10. C’est des conneries! (Say-day-KOHN-ree)
Clearly this curse is related to #6 on this list, and can be translated best as “this is bullshit.” I particularly enjoy this phrase and find it very useful in my daily life. I also like to throw in extra words for emphasis like “C’est vraiment des conneries!” (That is REALLY bullshit).

Since my French is almost forgotten, how about some basic swear words & expressions for starters

Ask whatever you want girl and I'll translate it for you

All right, let me think about them

Interesting, Behrluvr. I hadn't heard that this expression was still making the rounds (crosser - to masturbate), and I wasn't aware of any giggles caused at large in Quebec over the naming of a GM vehicle. However, since some expressions can be very localized, or limited to a given time or event, or both, this one might have not gained the larger awareness that the urban dictionary seems to indicate.

Anyhow, thanks for the info, one more little tidbit to add to my knowledge bank.

Swearing without swearing in Quebec

After all I taught my very non-French super hot boyfriend to speak the language and he's doing well now, although he doesn't know how to swear yet... However, he does know that one "Baisse moi" [bezz mouah] which means "Fuck me" :rofl::rofl::rofl:

From Alex:

I love that word "baisse moi" so much that I even say it when we're having sex

-"baisse moi Jake, fais moi mal, humm plus profond, plus vite, ah oui fuck me me, baisse moi"

Sorry I just can say it when we're having sex I don't really know how to translate them so ask Jake. But not right now because I'm shutting down this fucking PC for few hours :angry:

It's 4am here, everybody sleep so please Jake baisse moi :bring it on: get the fuck away of that PC and fuck me already I know you'll see this message when you'll come back from the bathroom.

Your Blondy Locks

Alex :heart:

Mon dieu!

I only know three basic swear words in french: merde, con and putain

Those are the most important one to know :rofl:

 

[hawtsean]

[FONT=&quot]Mort Dieu (Death of God) Morbleu, Morue [/FONT]

Funny coincidence as often is the case with words "borrowed" for minced oaths (the fancy term for polite alternate swear words); morue is, of course, the French word for Codfish, so this might be the 'death of Cod"?:rofl:

Crosser is mostly use in Quebec's remote Area such as; Gaspesie, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Region of Chicoutimi, Outaouais but not as much used in the region of Montreal :cheers: And want the best LOL - Crosser is a swear word, which means "se croisser" [say kwa zay] which refer to our very own catholic cross sign... au nom du pere, du fils et du saint esprit Amen "in the name of thou father, thou son and holy ghost"
