And I'm headed straight for it.

Because I have a Wincest drabble to post for Sam Winchester's birthday, some J2/Wincest... stuff (I'm not sure what genre name to use: not porn, not fluff, not quite drama but a wee bit of angst -- oh, Dean) that's half-written, and hockey slash that will need a beta shortly.

So. To the point.

HELP! My French is school-learned and passable for a tourist, but not really fluent.

If a French-Canadian person were to say 'fuck' or 'dammit', what word would they use?

Baiser = to fuck, but I don't know if that's the appropriate usage. Nique! (?)

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

Hmm, so if he were going to say something like, "I'm so screwed" what would be the equivalent?

*sigh*

Context and language difference, oy!

Tabernac is the strongest/worst swear I know if in Québeqois. You could use it, though I would be more inclined to go with 'O, Colisse' which literally means 'oh challace' (weird I know) or 'Ah, Mon Dieu' which is 'Oh my God'.

I usually hear both of them with little words like Oh or Ah at the beginning, though in both cases they are not really necessary. Most of the time René says these things on a groan or in a whine. Tabernac is said forcefully like 'fuck!'

Context is key. You should see what passes for swears in Chinese!
