The origin of the phrase "Pardon my French" because of its odd sounding pronounciation. Phoque-prounced Fhawk, means seal in French. The pronounciation sounds like a similar word used by today's kids and therefore when asking for forgiveness after a bad word is said, the statement "Pardon my French" can be used to alleviate the tension.

Phoque, not to be confused with fuck, is the French word for seal. If you are innocent and stub your toe, happen to drop an f bomb, and feel bad about it, just know that all you did was say seal in French.
