When I was just a kid, adults often liked to say pardon my #French to excuse their unfortunate use of profanity in my presence.
That mean that it was usually preceded or followed by big curse words. I will never forget my very first job interview.
I was asked if I could speak other languages besides #Spanish or #English - I said, Oui, Merci - Je parle merde Francaise!
The phrase is used for saying you are sorry when you have used or are going to use rude or offensive language: Ouch, bloody hell! Oops, excuse my French! If you'll pardon my French, he's a bloody fool.
The expression originates from the 19th century, and was used literally. When English people used French expressions in conversation, they would often apologize for it, presumably because many of their listeners were not familiar with the language. "Excuse my French, but that guys needs a kick in the ass!"
Pardon my French, or excuse my French, is an apology for the use of profanity; the expression dates from 1895. Pardon is derived from the old French pardoner meaning, “to grant, forgive.”
SO JUST TAKE TIME TO RELAX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vj8ApzJbOU
