In a recent article in the Journal de Montréal, a journalist provided examples of swearing committed by politicians.
I’ve listed the examples below, with a translation into English. Be prepared for foul language.
1. Va chier
Fuck off; literally, it means go shit
— Christine St-Pierre
2. Vieille plotte
Old cunt
— Thomas Mulcair
3. Tas de merde
The insult was said in English as piece of shit; the French here is the newspaper’s translation of that, but a more authentic wording would be tas de marde
— Justin Trudeau
4. Grosse crisse
Fat fuck; had this been said to a man, it would’ve been gros crisse
— Norman MacMillan
5. Fuck off
Not too hard to figure out…
— Pierre Elliott Trudeau
6. Crisser dehors
This expression means to throw someone the fuck out, to fucking get rid of someone
— Christine Moore
7. Crosseurs
A crosseur is someone who screws other people over
— Thomas Mulcair
8. Crisse de folle
Crazy bitch; more literally, it means fucking madwoman
— Danielle St-Amand
9. Maudite chienne
Damn bitch
— Jean Charest
