Tabarnack 

Tabarnack is one of the strongest swearing word in french. It comes from "tabernacle" which was a word used in churches back when Quebec was Catholic.
The definition varies:
it can be used as an adjective meaning "a lot"
it can mean a simple swearing word such as "fuck, damnit"
it can be put in the middle of other swear to accentuate the anger
mon osti de tabarnack, ma te tuer!(Fucking asshole, i'll kill you)
tabarnack, t'étais où?(What the fuck, where were you?)
j'ai de l'argent en tabarnack!(I got a lot of money)
t'es belle en tabarnack! (You are incredibly pretty)

tabarnac 

In French Canadian slang, pretty much the equivalent of 'fuck' but with no sexual meaning - the word is only used as a vulgar interjection. Thanks to its ample use of the 'a' vowel, it is an extremely satisfying swear word that lets the energy flow through your throat.

The word comes from French 'tabernacle' pronounced with a French Canadian accent. It is unheard of in France.

Note: 'crisse', 'hestie' and 'câlisse' have very similar meanings and are equally vulgar. A locutor can stack them together as to create a rhetorical figure (see examples).
Tabarnac! - shit!

Hestie de câlisse de tabarnac! - fucking shit!

T'es un tabarnac de fif - ur fucking gay

Hestie de tabarnac de plotte - motherfucking cunt
