Pardon My Non-French 

Pardon my non-French can be said after one uses a curse word in either polite company, or not-so-polite company. For curse words such as F-Bombs, The "S" Word, and Dam spelled differently are clearly not of French origin--unless you are saying Foutre, Merde, or Zut! Then, perhaps it will be appropriate to use the more conventional, "Pardon my French".

In contrast . . . Charlie is perusing the classical pornography gallery, when he stumbles into a display. His trundling clumsiness results in the shattered remnants of a 16th century Faberge didlo - imported from Queen Dinara's private and controversial collection. Upon seeing the previously proud display of faux manhood in shambles, Charlie immediately exclaimed: "Merde!" When he was frowned upon by a tiny old lady wearing rain boots, he promptly corrected himself. "Pardon my French. Der'mo!"
