    I heard an authentic “putain de canard” from a parisian lady who was ascending from the metro and there was a bunch of pigeons on the stairs. Which when translated to my native finnish was “vitun ankat” (fucking ducks), which I thought at the time as being the funniest shit I’ve heard in french.

      Lol, that must have been really fun ! Are you sure it wasn’t “putain de cOnnard” (I.e. f*cking *sshole) though? That sure does sound French !

        Of course I’m not sure. I’ve studied french for 6 years, practiced it alone for a few years, and real french pronunciation confuses the hell out of me.
