hey mindspell, tell me about sacres

[xfer]

I read the wikipedia article on it and would like it clarified.

so basically when you want to swear REALLY BAD you say:

"chalice ciborium priest candle pyx sacristy censer!!!!"

or something similar? (but in French) and for like 2 minutes?

 

[mindspell]

Two minutes might be a little much but yeah, something like:

"Caliss de tabarnac d'osti criss de caliss d'innocent de calvaire de criss de ciboire d'imbecile"

Also sacre can be used as verbs, adverbs and adjectives depeding of the situation. Like:

"M'a t'en crisser une mon osti"

In which Christ is a verb and osti is a noun. the phrase basically mean "I'll kick you fucking ass motherfucker"

 

[Post_Scriptum]

Haha oh my aussi long que ca?

 

[xfer]

can you translate it more or less literally?

 

[mindspell]

"Caliss de tabarnac d'osti criss de caliss d'innocent de calvaire de criss de ciboire d'imbecile"

Chalice of Tabernacle of Osti* of Christ dumbass of martydom of Christ of Cyborium imbecile

*no idea how to translate this, it is the bread given in the eucharist for us catholics. Small, flat and dry "bread". I have no idea how it works in other christian cults.

Of course all of the pronounciation is modified to reflect Quebec dialect so it really doesn't sound too much like the proper way to say the words. For example:

Proper : tabernacle = tAbearnAcle
Joual: tabarnak = tAbArnAk

that's crazy! do you ever feel you could slip into sacres without thinking about it, like if you hit your thumb with a hammer or something? or is it more old people or what.

xfer, I couldn't find said wikipedia article, could you link?

 

[mindspell]

I use sacre everyday for everything. It is used pretty much like fuck and shit are used, we just have a little more variety. It is not an old-people thing. We don't have bad words apart from those, saying "merde" is akin to say "gosh" and the sexual thing has no bad conotation per say. There is ways to say sexual things in an inappropriate manner but it is not swearing, more demeaning or unrespectful.

For example, "fourrer" would be the slang equivalent of "fuck" but you can't just interject a "fourrer" when you are angry, it would be like saying "cunt!" out loud, it doesn't make as much sense as conjugting a "fuck". Like if I was a jackass I would say that I will be "fourrer" that bitch tonight and it would make sense.

I wish the Russian mat entry was more extensive--I remember a REALLY interesting New Yorker article about it several years back that was longer and more in depth.
