That's incredibly offensive.

Implying that a holy being could speak french makes me wanna barf

Don’t worry, the devil only speaks Québécois

I feel like Odin would know French, not because he wanted to but because he got lost and ended up picking it up for insult purposes.

I'm not sure of your reasoning. But I'll provide two ideas that may make you feel better and/or worse about it.

  1. It wouldn't be their first language.
  2. They'd speak it as well as if it were.

Both are much worse. I can forgive the French. They merely lost the birth lottery. It isn't thier fault they were born French. To learn it? Intentionally?

I enjoy the language despite butchering it every time, and I especially enjoy the French countryside. Pretty damn forgiving of a terrible accent, and with a smile.

Its Parisians that usually piss me off.
