Where did the expression Pardon my French get started? Why is it French and not German or Spanish or whatever?
don't know, but always just assumed: the French swear a lot????
Think I'll ask k3n about that. I think she has said that the Dutch do.
Pardon my "dutch", just doesn't have the same sound to it.:lol:
I do occasionally, say, "pardon my Greek."
