I remember the first time I saw a old John Wayne movie in France on TV. It was of course all dubbed into French, and when John Wayne got mighty upset, he let a string of manly EXPLETIVES fly. I was shocked! In our old movies we are used to the men never saying anything heavier than a hearty “Damn.” But the French thought that was far too sissy for the tough cowboy, so they dirtied up his language considerably. :)
Just goes to show you that the French don't know what real men are like. They know what being a sissy is like, but they think being a tough man is about swearing. And the more the tougher.
