It's a thing people say after they swear. The irony of the saying is that French supposedly is a language intelligent and sophisticated people use and you say "excuse my French" after obscene and filthy talking.

>"Pardon my French" or "Excuse my French" is a common English language phrase ostensibly disguising profanity as French. The phrase is uttered in an attempt to excuse the user of profanity, swearing, or curses in the presence of those offended by it under the pretense of the words being part of a foreign language.
>>
>>61368948
We say "pardon my French" when we're about to say something particularly foul or uncouth.
>>
it's because french is disgusting, so we naturally associate it with foul language
>>
>>61369307
that's dumb and you're wrong. It's said because French is an eloquent, high-class language and swearing is the opposite. It's irony.

Their elite class don't hate us and pretty much the opposite, since we gave them the opportunity to make you their little dog.

French are dirty effeminate mongrels completely backwards in their ways of living.
We simply don't wish to associate ourselves with foul language and use the French as a guise to mask our dignified selves.
French are merely dust in the wind at this point. Should have known they'd be wiped out because of their lecherous nature.

For people who don't wish to associate with French, you use the language more than anyone but native Francophones.

Then again, if fact checking was considered an American thing to do, half of the country wouldn't believe in a literal six day creation six thousand years ago.
