Excellent Treatise on French Canadian/Quebe?ois Profanity
« on: November 11, 2017, 04:31:37 AM »
Being originally from Montreal in the Province of Qu?bec I grew up hearing French Canadian males cursing and swearing almost on a daily basis.  It is interesting that I do not ever recall a female using these words and expressions.  Not even once.

It is very difficult to explain to English speaking Canadians or Americans how church-related blasphemy such as ?my host of the tabernacle? is really heavy stuff. 

Here is an excellent discussion on the subject.  I hope no one is offended......
