French

In French culture, profanity often revolves around religious terms, though scatological terms like 'Mange une merde' are also used. The French tend to be more liberal with profanity in casual conversation compared to some other cultures.

To pronounce this phrase correctly in French, follow these guidelines:

• Mange- Pronounced "MAHNJ" (nasal "a" sound, soft "j" like in "measure")
• une- Pronounced "UHN" (nasal sound, not "oon")
• merde- Pronounced "MEHRD" (roll the "r" slightly)
