Illegal French Lesson: Mince!

Hey, everyone! It’s been a while since class. Did you have a good holiday?

(“Yes!” thunderous applause)

Today, in light of current events, let’s learn a French word for swearing: mince.

Its literal meaning is “thin.”

But be careful: it is not a compliment about someone’s slim figure!

It is actually a softened version of merde, much like saying “shoot” instead of “shit.”

So next time you want to swear, you can say, “Thin!”

Doesn’t that sound much nicer?
