"Pardon my french"

Set of 6- 4"x5" varied birdie silhouette notecards with glitter "detail"
Comes sealed in a cellophane envelope with 6 colored envelopes.

(following is printed on back of card)
During the final hours of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, one of Bonaparte's generals, a certain Cambronne, found himself hopelessly outnumbered by the enemy. Asked to surrender, the general is said to have raised his sabre and hurled across the barricades a single, defiant syllable: Merde!

This was most likely the sound left ringing in the ears of his men as they ate Prussian lead. With one celebrated utterance, that five-letter word known ever since as the "mot de Cambronne" became the quintessential French oath.
