Pardon My French

Don't you hate when someone says, "You cocksucking mother fucking bastard" and then says "Pardon My French"? I think that's the stupidist expression ever. Why was French the chosen language? Why not just say pardon my language or excuse me?????

I despise stupid expressions like this.

I hate "HEADS UP!" for when something is about to smack you in the head.

Watch Deadwood, that'll give you a whole new appreciation for the word "cocksucker." They're from San Francisco, ya know ;)

I too never understood the whole "Pardon my French" expression. Oy!

My biggest word pet peeve is when people say "My Bad"

That's like when people don't understand something and say "it's all Greek to me." LOL. Why Greek? Isn't something like Japanese or German much more appropriate since they're impossible languages. LOL.

I hate those phrases too...my latest is "I'm not going to lie to you.." followed by something stupid. Really? Good. Because I totally thought you were going to lie until you said that.

because, cmac, if you say "pardon my french", it makes cussing sexy...not vulgar...you know, cause the french are soooooo sexy.

True Jersey hit it - it's because the French are so &#@** rude.

It is a lame phrase indeed.

I hate it when someone says: "I hate to say I told you so, but..."
