Examples of politicians swearing in French (#1103)

22 March 2016 by OffQc

In a recent article in the Journal de Montréal, a journalist provided examples of swearing committed by politicians.

I’ve listed the examples below, with a translation into English. Be prepared for foul language.

1. Va chier
Fuck off; literally, it means go shit
— Christine St-Pierre

2. Vieille plotte
Old cunt
— Thomas Mulcair

3. Tas de merde
The insult was said in English as piece of shit; the French here is the newspaper’s translation of that, but a more authentic wording would be tas de marde
— Justin Trudeau

4. Grosse crisse
Fat fuck; had this been said to a man, it would’ve been gros crisse
— Norman MacMillan

5. Fuck off
Not too hard to figure out…
— Pierre Elliott Trudeau

6. Crisser dehors
This expression means to throw someone the fuck out, to fucking get rid of someone
— Christine Moore

7. Crosseurs
A crosseur is someone who screws other people over
— Thomas Mulcair

8. Crisse de folle
Crazy bitch; more literally, it means fucking madwoman
— Danielle St-Amand

9. Maudite chienne
Damn bitch
— Jean Charest

  Yes, that’s right — it was in the newspaper as tas de merde, but I’m going to add a note above to include tas de marde.

Thanks for these. I’m not sure why but they made me chuckle and that’s just what I need right now!

How does one say in French.

He is a two timing asshole

  You might say c’est un écoeurant infidèle, where un écoeurant means asshole, bastard, etc., and infidèle means unfaithful.

“Crisser dehors” would you say that to someone as a command, sort of like fuck off? Or would you say “Je vais te crisser dehors”?

  I’ll answer your question in a new post because it’s good. That way we can look at it in more detail.
