French swear words

The most versatile French swear word. Used as an interjection for anger, surprise, joy, or emphasis. Originally meant 'whore' but now functions like the English 'fuck' as an exclamation rather than a noun.

Standard exclamation for frustration, disappointment, or surprise. Literally excrement.

Used to describe chaos or mess; also used as an interjection like 'damn'. Literally means brothel.

Originally vulgar slang for female genitalia (cunt), now primarily means 'stupid' or 'idiot' in France. The feminine 'conne' is more offensive than 'con'.

Augmentative form of 'con', much stronger. Connard (masc) and connasse (fem) are direct insults implying the person is contemptible and stupid.

Past participle of 'enculer' (to sodomize). Used as a strong insult implying submission/defilement. Almost exclusively used for men (enculée rarely heard).

Direct attack on someone's mother. Extremely provocative and likely to incite violence.

Salaud (masc) = bastard, rotten person. Salope (fem) = bitch, slut. Originally from 'sale' (dirty).

Extreme insult invoking maternal incest. Abbreviated as 'NTM'.

Extremely rude way to tell someone to be quiet. 'Gueule' refers to animal mouths, implying the person is subhuman.

Standard phrase for 'fuck off'. Uses the verb 'foutre' (to fuck/do).

Originally 'to kiss' (archaic), now exclusively means 'to fuck' in vulgar slang. 'Je te baise' = I'm fucking you.

From Arabic 'nik'. More aggressive and vulgar than 'baiser'. Used for sex, destroying something, or screwing someone over.

To defecate; also used in expressions meaning 'to annoy' or 'bore'.

Expression meaning to annoy or bother someone excessively.

Someone who masturbates excessively; by extension, a lazy person who does nothing productive.

Extremely offensive slur for gay men. 'Pédale' originally meant pedal, now coded slang for homosexual.

Originally illegitimate child, now general insult for someone with bad character.
