Pronounced like "vayssay" in French because the English double-U is actually a double-V.

Toilet paper can be referred to as "PQ," for "papier cul" (translation of "ass paper").

    I love how the French casually use so many "dirty" words in everyday speech without batting an eye.

    We're so prudish over here.

    It's funny, because head up to French Canada and all the curses are religious. Tabernac! Calisse!
