'Scuse My French

Why is it, that when some go to cuss...
They predicate their obvious future unacceptable words with
"Now, 'scuse My French, but so'n so ain't ____ when it comes to ???."
Could it be they REALLY want to say the four lettered nasty
but, believe prefacing they're words somehow makes it more 'inconspicuous'?
Or maybe... They go at it like true salty dawgs all the time and believe
using such a preface somehow makes them less 'obtrusive' in public?
And I normally hear such a 'polite' preface from women rather than men.

I do like French fries though.
Does that make me a bad person??
You can't trust them French, as far as you can throw em'. [:0]

And French toast. [:D]
Roast beef sandwich on a keiser roll, dipped in Au Jus. Mmmnnn.

From Jason's Deli. Yes.[:D] And I usually get a cup of Broccoli Cheese soup along with it.
The French are our oldest ally. They came to our aid before we ever went to theirs.
I spent a month in Marseille and France is more like America, other than language, than any other country I know.
The Crowded House video with the gorgeous girl was videoed in Paris.
We're a relatively young country compared to a country over two millennia old.
And Retro, it's "excusez-moi" you're looking for. I just said "Pardone me" and they understood.[;)]
I usually say that just before I lift my leg and rip off a nice fart.
LOL. Funniest thing I've read, all day. [:D]
I have a filthy mouth and could make Richard Pryor say "damn boy you got a potty mouth!" However I do try to watch my language and not cuss in front of folks I don't know. Sometimes though, situations arise where the only way to describe something or someone requires colorfull metaphors and I will warn those with sensitive ears that I am about to use language that would cause my Baptist family to call a Catholic priest to perform an exorcism on me.
I could see that happening.
The whole, performing an exorcism on you, I mean. [:0]

Excusez-moi Mon ami but IMO the finest roast beef sandwich is the "beef on weck" (sliced roast beef on a kimmelweck roll) sold in/around Niagara Falls N.Y. Add the local nuclear horseradish sauce at your own peril.
The French make wonderful cowards.
That's why they excuse themselves before they Cuss. They're afraid they might get slapped![:D]
