1. Used as a disparaging term for a Canadian, especially a French Canadian.
2. A small or medium-sized hardy horse, common in Canada.

I'm a canadian.

St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.

Tabarnack is a bad religous word towards god. Do you know the tabernackle?in the chruch?Well You get the point!

A French swear word.

I am Canadian, born in Toronto, and am well aware of the insult regarding Tabernak.

At the same time, as a teenager my family moved to New Bedford, Mass. where the sir name of our next door neighbour was Tabernak.

Just another case of, "things aren't aways as they seem".

Although I am not (nor speak) French, my understanding is that the "slur" involves two words -- not one. Using the word "tabernak" by itself might not apply. On the other hand, I can give you a whole run-down, on the Jack Schitt family. :D

(whoops: seems I mis-spelled the Family name, the first time)

I had NO idea that tabernack is a bad word. :D

I just remember my grand-mère saying it 20+ times a day. Grand-mère would never swear!! Never!! It must mean something else :D

I believe that would be colist, or something like that. Something to do with the Catholic church I think. But that's all I know. I'm not Catholic, or a religious person, so forgive me for my ignorance.

It's quite interesting...

French people (canada) swear with words related to the crhistianism and other related church items.

I am French [hardly] canadian :D

Felix,

With the name you have, how could you be anything *but* french :)

I have to say I would kill for a birth name like that *lol* Of course you can describe wiping your yourself in the entrails of baby harp seals in French and it still sounds cool to someone that doesn't understand a word of it :)

Greg *common as muck named* Moore

Chris

All the Canadians in one thread. I feel at home :emlaugh:
Oh canada

While we're touching on the subject (of names meaning "what") I'm curious Greg as to how, you choose the name akashik? Not sure if you are familiar with the term "Akashik Records" but that is the only time I hear the word used. Does the name "Paul Twitchell" perhaps mean anything to you?
