Why do we say "pardon my French"? Surely it would make more sense to say "pardon my German", since all words in German sound like swear words anyway.

@Sherbie It's the way Finnish sounds that makes it so, especially the r sound is much harsher than the one in English – and it happens to appear in several of our swear words.
There are quite a few good articles about them – I won't link them here (I don't really think it's appropriate), but they're very easy to find!
