About Pardon my French
"Pardon my French" or "excuse my French" is an English expression that commonly precedes the usage of profanity in a sentence. It is intended to ascribe profane words as a natural component of the French language rather than of the English language, playing on the stereotype of Gallic sophistication, although it can be used ironically.
