French is such a beautiful language
She actually used English (for ‘fuck’ anyway), which surprised me.
It’s been commonly used as a pejorative in French for a decade or so.
Yeah. A French equivalent could be “Nique l’extrème-droite”, but that would come out as ruder. Both words have the same literal meaning and same use in their respective language, but when " fuck" is used in French, it’s further from it’s literal meaning. “Fuck X” is then always perceived as a vague statement of hostility towards X, without the sexual connotation.
I remember sitting in a cafe in Copenhagen and overhearing a conversation at the table next to mine. I had no idea what they were talking about but “fucking” was the only word I recognized. It was about every third word they said.
Au Canada, le juron francais que j’entends est ‘tabarnak’, ‘calice’, ‘ostie’ au lieu de ‘fuck.’
(So I was surprised)
Pourtant c’est plutôt commun au Québec. Ça s’enchaîne pas comme les sacres liturgiques mais c’est bien utilisé. Quelque chose peut être fucké. Une personne peut être fuckée. C’est fucking chiant. Fuck ça! Juste, fuck!

Did she say “Pardon my English” afterwards?
Baise aux réacs !
Hell yeah

Fuck all y’all.
I wasn’t aware of her comment. Googling for it showed me an article in English saying she dropped the F bomb. I thought it was in an interview in English but no, she used it in French, which makes it a bit less impressive.
Pour les gens qui veulent pas googler, voici la citation exacte
« Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous ! »
Merci pour la citation. Indeed the fact she’s used the English word makes it lose a bit of edge but still, the sentiment is there.

I was sure this was fake until I saw some of the comments and looked it up. This is amazing!
I feel like “fuck the French” is a prerequisite to being mayor or Paris
I can’t believe Viggo Mortensen rode this bad boy all the way across that desert.
