I LOVE swearing in French, and your gif is just marvelous. The French love stringing together complicated swearing like that. There’s something just gorgeous about it.

Quebecois French has its own vocabulary for swearing, though they share the habit of putting together long strings.

And what makes it cooler is their very strongest swear words come from words derived from Catholic mass and other worship.

“Osti de tabarnak de sacrament, de câlice de ciboire de criss de marde!”

Trust me, that’s really bad and really cool at the same time. ;-)
