French Swear Words, Phrases, Slang, Curses, Insults, Colloquialisms and Expletives! Learn How To Speak French!

It’s language learning time again! And it’s Bonjour to some French Swear Words, Expressions, Phrases, Insults and some silly Slang!

But you can learn ‘correct’ French here..

But learn how people actually speak French on the street here!

Just to give you an idea of what people are looking for out there in internet land, one of the most popular posts of all time on this silly website that still attracts a crapload of search engine traffic is my list of Russian Swear Words!

It just gives you an idea of what people are looking for out there! And I guess with the football World Cup being held in Russia in 2018, I guess people found this particular post rather helpful for non-Russian speakers to brush up on their swearing skills!

But it sort of makes sense! When you’re learning a new language, you want to know what people actually speak, not what the dictionary wants you to say!

I know a few Spanish swear words and expressions which are pretty funny, and I like how they’re used as essential tools of communication!

In today’s edition though, we’re looking at a number of French Swear Words, Slang, Expletives, and Expressions that may come in handy for you some day! Hopefully you won’t need them to translate something someone is saying to you!

And being an expressive language, there’s all sorts of colourful sayings out there!

Now the French really do appreciate it when you do try to speak their language, even if you butcher it, but I’d advise you to be very, very careful before you try these phrases out because you just never know where life might lead you if you quote some sort of vulgarity out of context!

Make sure you become really, really good friends with some of the French locals first! Actually, when I was compiling these, I had a little chuckle to myself when I was reading some of them.

That’s because I remembered a short period of my life when I was watching one of my all time favourite movies, Team America World Police. That’s because in the very first scene before a lot of carnage happens in Paris, the camera scrolls past some place which is called ‘Le Cafe Merde’. Now, not many people in Australia speak or read French, but I understood what this meant – literally, ‘The S*$& Cafe’!

There’s nothing like being the only person in movie cinema who gets the joke and laughs so much that he draws attention to himself! Oh well! Enough laughs at my expense!

Looks like you’ve only Googled this page so you can pick up a few French swear words and vulgarities, and I’m not going to disappoint you!

Anyway, here you go – here’s a silly list to try out if you’re silly enough!

My Ultimate List of French Swear Words, Slang, Expletives and Expressions!

You’ll need to use these if you’re foolish enough to take a ride around the Arc de Triomph in Paris!
