A word my spanish friend used to laugh at for some reason
Anyone: Pardon
Spanish friend: *Laughs*
Pardon by Strahinja.Anton March 8, 2021
A word used by people who can maintain a serious stance, and face in any situation, whether it is funny scary or sad, while saying this word. Making anyone around laugh out of confusion and the absolute randomness of the singular word.
Random person at funeral: "Aw man.. it sucks without him here, I wish he could've made it through, but he's in a better place now.."

Short girl with ponytail: "Yea.. he was a good man"

Person #2: "it's a good thing he was able to scrap some of his criminal records, maybe he won't go to hell"

Short girl with ponytail: Pardon

Pardon my French 

The origin of this phrase (Which means excuse my use of profanity) does not originate for the French word for seal, as Lazy Time Waster suggests.

It in fact originates from the constant warfare between England and France many years ago, at that time "French" was associated with indecent things and activies (Swearing, kissing etc).
This was done fairly often in those days, sexually transmitted diseases (for one thing) had different names in different countries.

What the English might call the French disease, the Dutch might call the Spanish disease, the French might call the English disease and so on.
