...A perfectly good thread shot to hell. *sigh*

Concerning the "Pardon my French" saying, it seems as though nobody out there knows how this saying came to be. Back in the 50's(?)-60's, when adults would say a swear word around a young person (or sometimes a very elderly one), the offending person would say "Pardon my French", as French was very popular back then, though not so many people spoke it. So in order for kids to not know the adult was swearing, the adult would call it "French". It wasn't meant to be offensive to France or the French people - it just sorta happened.

...At least that's how I learned it to be.
