What a bizarre list of things to get hung up on that have no consequence. Speech doesn't have to be precisely literal at every moment. Loosen up a bit, mate.
No offense taken by me, no worries. Quebec is a very French province of Canada, so not being allowed to say "French fries" felt fitting, hah.
I've apparently offended the entire territory of Quebec with my question, so maybe that's appropriate XD
12001-12003 is an oddly specific number to hope for XD
The damage and destruction is on purpose. He keeps saying it but nobody believes him.
This is like saying every Latin phrase sounds like the scientific name of an animal. Of course they do - the latter is derivative of the former.
Who says they're disguised? Foxes can't be devout?
*also, a lone robe is hardly a disguise. They're very obviously foxes, so it's not like they're trying to hide. They just want to be part of the community and everyone's assuming the worst.
Do whatever you want. I'm not saying this is how everybody should speak - it's my decision for myself. Not sure why you're treating it like an attack on society.
Kiwis are a lot bigger than I thought.
I'm not really too worried about being understood, just working on it for myself. And honestly, I think anything could be said in a certain way and be understood as a curse/outburst. Borrowing from different languages is a good idea, though!

I just finished up a rewatch of Dimension 20's Neverafter (highly recommended if you haven't watched it) and as the various iconic story tellers were introduced, the question above came up in my mind.
To clarify, by fables/fairy tales I would mean widely known tales told primarily to children to pass on positive ideals and morals. Not just entertainment, but at least partially education as well. I also think it should be quite well known to count - it should at least be considered common knowledge in the region it's from. As for "modern", let's say the last 100 years or so? Though anything post-Grimm may be interesting.
Personally, I've struggled trying to think of anything particularly satisfying. Dr. Seuss feels like it's just about that iconic, though that's pretty old itself at this point. Is there anything Internet based that my out-of-touch brain is overlooking?
*Further thoughts:
Thinking on it more, other comments have helped me realize that, at least for me, the crux of the issue is that for the last 100 years or so, pretty much all stories have been commercial endeavors. Perfected drafts copywritten by companies and "protected" from the grubby hands of society. Basically the antithesis of a folk-tale, which is passed on and told and retold, shifting and morphing each time.
Thankfully, in the last few decades the internet has made less centralized media a thing again. And, though not strictly kid-friendly, I unironically am thinking that internet memes are the contemporary form of folk-tales, or at least the closest thing we've got. And I don't mean just "funny pictures", but the actual definition of meme - "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads through imitation within a culture." Perhaps that's the progenitor of the next generation of "fairy tales"?

Gotta celebrate the rare December Friday the 13th.
Gotta celebrate the rare December Friday the 13th.
Except this is just...a train? What are you saying they're reinventing here?
Also, it's absolutely just a play on the final words of the post rather than an actual appeal for more trains.
