chalice

French Canadian curse word, roughly equivalent to 'dammit!' or 'shit!'

Pronunciation: ka'-lehce

Follows tabernac. French Canadian swear words are modeled after the Roman Catholic Church, as opposed to other curse words that are modeled after sexual acts or bodily functions/parts.

Don't say this around a French Canadian priest or an older person.

"ce n'est pas assez? chalice!!!"
(it's not enough? SHIT!)
