Tabarnak 

Swear word used in the Canadian French slang language, it originated from the word "tabernacle", a cabinet in Christian churches containing what is needed to celebrate the Eucharist. It is the equivalent of "fuck" in its variety of uses, as it can be used as a noun, an adverb or simply an exclamation. It is commonly used as a way to amplify an emotion, most often a negative one, meaning it can be a form of insult.

- Mon tabarnak! / You fucker! (Noun, insult)
- C'était beau en tabarnak! / It was fucking beautiful! (Adverb) ~ Here we can see the use for either a positive emotion or a sarcastic one.
- Tabarnak! / Fuck! (Exclamation)
- Il était en beau tabarnak ~ Il était en colère. / He was fucking pissed. ~ He was angry. (Noun / Adverb) ~ Here, "tabarnak" is used as a noun (colère), but can only be translated to an adverb. If we translate it word by word: He was in pretty fuck.
