I think "pardon my French" just means, "sorry for my dirty words". Mayby originating from life in Frensh speaking communitiers or neighbourghoods - perhaps like New Orleans. Otherwise I don't think the french swear more or less than any other people.
The other day I saw a movie, where I heard a black man say "sorry 'bout my Swaheli".
