Although in Paris, I’ll say that the curses sound amazing and flowing and beautiful, and in Quebec, they sound like a very religious buzzsaw.

Right? They’re very guttural and harsh, and are pronounced as if they have 10 exclamation points after them. Normal Quebecois French is quite melodic.

As a Frenchman from France, French Canadians sound like ducks speaking 18th Century cartoon French to me.

Soundwave regretted letting Buzzsaw spy on all those human church services.

As a Montrealer (French as 1st laguage) I can attest that all our swearwords come from the church (France's are more sex/scato). There is also a specific order you have to respect when stringing them together. Of someone that had long litany of them, we even say that "they passed the whole rosary"
