Excuse/Pardon my French
This phrase is used to apologize for using bad (vulgar language).
Origin
French was the official language of England in the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th century. And it was not uncommon for the English sometimes to use a French word in later centuries. So “Excuse my French” was initially used to ask a listener to pardon the use of “unfashionable” French.
