When I was a kid, my parents would always say,
“Excuse my French” after a swear word...
I’ll never forget that first day at school
when the teacher asked did we know any French...

What ??? Its a "Dad Joke". It is not
SUPPOSE to be FUNNY!

If Dad isn't Quebecois that will go right over your head.

Made me look it up!

Funny, it is related to "tarnation!"
https://www.southernthing.com/what-does-tarnation-mean-2638982024.html
'If you're wondering how they got tarnation
from damnation, there's a step in-between there
you have to consider. "Tarnation" was derived from
"darnation," which was the first substitute
euphemism for damnation that was commonly used
in those days.
The "tar" in tarnation was likely pulled from
the word "tarnal," which is a dialectal
shortcut for "eternal." Put 'em together, and
you've got tarnal darnation (eternal
damnation) = tarnation.'

Chuckle!
The idea that no gentleman ever swears is all
wrong. He can swear and still be a gentleman,
if he does it in a nice and benevolent and
affectionate way.
--Mark Twain - Private and Public Morals speech,1906
