11. Well
they don't really say that... but the existing suggestions do make that point. Or 'Bush est con'

curses aren't really very translatable...

13. It's more offensive than any of the equivalent English phrases
that's what I mean by the curses not really translating right.

15. Most French curses have to do with the church/religion
.
.
.

Whereas English curses tend to use sexual connotaions.

a phrase that is common is "mon dieux" - meaning my god literally, but pronounced "mowed-zee" means goddammed - so mowedzee bush - well you can figure that one out

bete - prounounced bet - means animal, but used in a nasty way - Bete Bush would be an insult

of course

MowedZee Bete Bush -

couchon - means pig

MowedZee Cochon Bush

now you're getting it!

Keep asking around tho

I'm sure there is someone on this board that knows our local French Jargon(slang) better than I!

ask in the Lounge maybe?

(no apologies for my terrible spelling of the French words) :dunce:
