Phrases.org.uk explains “Excuse my French” thus: A coy phrase used when someone who has used a swear-word attempts to pass it off as French. The coyness comes from the fact the both the speaker and listener are of course both well aware the swear-word is indeed English.
Incidentally, in our opening example, the swearing word omitted was used for emphasis, rather than for the purpose of swearing per se.
Per se?
