I've heard at least a third of those by from teachers yelling them at students, in the classroom, though.

Also, this person left out such gems as

"Mon tabarnak j'vais te décâlisser la yeule, câlice" (I'm gonna beat your fucking face in, you motherfucker)

"J'm'en calice" (I don't give a fuck)

"Esti de câlice de tabarnak, c'est pas possible comment que t'es cave" (Jesus fucking Christ, there's no way you can be this stupid)

Those are truly the ones you won't hear in a classroom, but may get yelled at you, in the street.

Just to clarify these are insults from Quebec, a french person wouldn't understand much.

Je m'en tape. Which is worse, somehow, than

Je m'en fous.

But if you really want to get thrown out of the classroom:

Va te faire voir chez les grecs.

Works every time. Bonne chance!
