Not my native language but I don't think you can translate Québécois insults to any other language and still make sense:
TABARNAK! = Tabarnacle
CÂLICE!!! = Chalice
and many more
I reserve my right to dislike those guys but I respect that none of that stuff is sexist or racist.
Those in my native language are quite horrible and I won't list them here.
that person is an embarrassment. thinks it's OK to be a reactionary so long as you pick safe targets. block and move on. or if you absolutely have to punch up or sideways, try to be funny jfc
and hexbear mods this means you too. do better
All the same to you buddy. Hope you get back to your senses in the morning.
The beauty of these words is their compositionability(?). "Mon hostie de calice de tabarnak m'a t'en crissé une" is a great example of using these words as nouns, adjectives and verbs. They can even be adverbs (calice, calicer, calicement, criss, crisser, crissement, etc.)
On their own they're not really insult though.
Also disliking "those guys" as a generalised statement is a pretty racist statement, ironically.
I know, kkkuebec is full of xenophobes like you. You sound like the pig that barged into my house a few weeks ago and gave me a fascist tirade. You shouldn't be on hexbear.
