French swear words

The most important of all reasons to learn French is to understand the French culture through the French language. Let me give an example:

• a group of 999 women + 1 male is considered male or female?
  According to French grammar: it’s MALE.
  Which shows you this is quite a male society (but then, which society isn’t these days…)
• Lots of words about the weather but only 1 word for grandfather.
  Which tells you that weather must be very important in French culture. Unlike in Asian cultures: it makes no difference whether grandfather is from father’s side or mother’s side. So that explains why grandparents get into homes and aren’t taken care of by their family.

For me learning French is not bout which word is which, it’s about what is important for these French people and what is not. And the language will just tell me: you can hide a lot, but you can never hide your language!
