    I’m really curious, maybe some Québécois/coise can help me:

    Wouldn’t it be tu pues, t’es gros/grosse, et ta mère t’aime pas. (Dropping the ‘ne’ to make it more casual)

    Am I totally off? I don’t know a lot of Québécois variants – but I do know they take cussing to a whole new level.

      You are correct. Congrats on getting the verbs right – most of my students can’t. Also dropping the «ne» is entirely appropriate in this context.

      I’M québécoise and you are right
      also it’s crisse de câlisse de tabarnak, not that lingo grammar is an exact science but the “caudice” isn’t pronounced that way. I imagine that it really ends up being butchered anyways while playing a drinking game, so in the end who cares? I wrote this for the heck of it, and also because it makes me feel good inside to know something.

        We can never know too many ways to cuss people out. Merci!

    Merci bien! I teach French at uni as well, I’d hope I could get them right!
    (Si non, on pourrait blâmer le vin!)

    The slangy contraction of t’es fits with dropping the ‘ne’, imo.

    I know Québécois slang is a very different animal; I thought I’d ask before slapping Parisian French all over it.

      You are right on “t’es” too, in Quebec we would never say “tu es”, regardless of wether we’re cussing or not. Except if we have to speak right i.e. working on a tv show or doing something important presentation/speech/theater performance

      That’s being more of a bollocking wank wad, I think.
