"French Translations== 
 *The Quebec French word ""tabernacle"", meaning the clergical tabernacle, is often used in the same way as ""fuck"" in English, except in sexual-related usage. It is only used as interjection, noun or adverb. Other Quebecois-french swear words (which are pretty much all of clergical origin) such as ""Christ"" or ""Calice"" are much more versatile. 
 Note that in Quebec French, English swearwords such as Shit and Fuck are considered to be much less vulgar than if used in the same context for an English speaking person. This is also the origin of the stereotype of French people swearing a lot that many English Canadians have. However, the word Tabernacle (pronounced ""tabarnak"") is considered to be very vulgar, but not more so than Fuck is in English. 

 The above should be moved from 5.1 International Homophony to 5.2 Similar Words in other languages.  It has ceased being a discussion of the word ""fuck""'s application in french, and has become an explanation of the word ""tabernaque"".
