There comes a time when you need to get things off your chest and express yourself. French Slang– Express Yourself is here to give you slang and common expressions when people are not happy or say bad things. You might not want to hear them or say these words, but in some situations it is better to know when things aren’t good, and to do your best to avoid these situations.
