C'est beau le joual!

A funny thing to observe, as the article notes: the verb "fuck" will be conjugated in French, as attested by "fucké" in the lyrics above, but it's not really a big deal in French. It's not taboo language like "tabarnak" is.

One thing the article says is that the cursing is completely meaningless. It is not. For example, "câlisser" as a verb means to throw something violently:

This isn't interchangeable with other taboo words. I don't think tabarnak even has a verb form.
