Quebec French profanities, known as sacres (singular: sacre; French: sacrer, "to consecrate"), are words and expressions related to Catholicism and its liturgy that are used as strong profanities in Quebec French (the main variety of Canadian French) and in Acadian French (spoken in Maritime Provinces, east of Quebec, and a small portion of Aroostook County, Maine, in the United States). Sacres are considered stronger in Canada than the foul expressions common to other varieties of French, which centre on sex and excrement (such as merde, "shit").

  • Les sacres (synonyme de jurons au Québec) québécois font partie du lexique du français québécois parlé. Ils sont pour la plupart tirés de termes ayant trait à la religion catholique. En effet, l'Église catholique a bénéficié jusqu'à la Révolution tranquille d'une influence considérable dans la société québécoise. (fr)
