I know all of those except astie tabernak, what's that?

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Presumably the first is a corruption of "hostie" (i.e. "Host", the Catholic communion wafer)

Tabernak is like how Anglos say fuck.

Fuck is just a sentence enhancer.

Ah, ok never heard that but only know Canadian culture from Canadian streamers.

Although "what the tabernak" doesn't have the same ring as wtf... Or "abso-tabernak-lutely"... Or "go tabernak yourself"

Yeah I know it doesn't work that way I'm just having fun playing with words

Quebec swears are odd. Like why are their swears based on religious things.

Americans do same thing "God damn it"

Ah tabernak!

Tabernak!

More like that.

Sure but that's not as much fun as abso-tabernak-lutely

Save that for when somebody cuts you off in MTL.
