Pardon my French

the origin of this phrase (which means excuse my use of profanity) does not originate for the french word for seal, as lazy time waster suggests.

it in fact originates from the constant warfare between england and france many years ago, at that time “french” was -ssociated with indecent things and activies (swearing, kissing etc).
this was done fairly often in those days, s-xually transmitted diseases (for one thing) had different names in different countries.

what the english might call the french disease, the dutch might call the spanish disease, the french might call the english disease and so on.
