Absolutely not and do not let anyone tell you otherwise
"Sacrebleu" is akin to a good ol "Goddamnit". It was really frown upon to call the name of God in vain in France back in the day so in order to commit blasphemy people used "Sacre" meaning damn followed by "bleu" to not say "Dieu" (God). You'll note the similarity in the pronunciation here.
Pierre "Peter" and Guillaume "William" are very very very common names in France. In fact so much that in order to express the fact that you don't know what or how many people are involved in a matter you say "Pierre Paul Jacques"
"D'or" means "of gold" in french! And I may be overstating things here but "verl" sounds a lot in french to the verlan (think of reversing the syllables or the words of a term to create slang) of an old way to weight thing: the "livre" (also known as a "pound" for the filthy users of the Imperial System)
"My cabbages" is a literal translation of the french saying "Mon chou". It has several meanings, from addressing to someone dear to your heart to berate someone in a stern but playful and a bit condescending manner. My math teacher in middle school really liked to use it when we gave her the wrong answer
The absinthe when in its purest form shines of bright green color, the fact that its color is dimmed here is an indication that the drink has been mixed with some water. It's in fact indispensable knowing the toxicity of the original alcohol. It might be wise to look how absinthe is used through this story, it has been mentioned several times already and the drink being associated with rabid madness is an interesting point
Fun fact: "Bénet" in French means "Idiot". It stems from the word "Benêt" used to qualify a idiot with a pretty soft heart and a bit candid in his stupidity
Little trivia, The Arièges who inspired the region where Cordu is located (Dariege) is also known for its leather and wool. Built on valley it was a very looked after place in France by well France and Spain who was relatively near for its premium quality in wool and weather. Moreover The Arièges is one of the most beautiful place you could find in France, if you're looking for an original trip or at least better than Paris, go to Foix (the capital of the department). It's a gorgeous place with a castle at the heart of the city and surrounded by the Pyrénées and thus during summer and winter altogether.
This one is hated by transphobic and LGBTQIA+ community alike
Fun fact "Ariège" is actually an existing department in France. Located in its southwestern part, it is known for its wonderful scenery and above all... Its beautiful mountains: The Pyrénées
The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a popular folk tale in France coming from a fable of Aesop. It depicts how a young shepherd who had fun calling for help because of a wolf attack on his her. The villagers were so annoyed by his lies that they stopped believing him and the day the wolf really arrived, no one came to his rescue. Morality: Do not tell lies
Absinthe is a powerful alcohol (think more than 90%) with a strong green color who was so dangerous that the French Government forbid it in 1915. Its danger came from the fact it was pretty easy to make and strongly encouraged alcoholism and the spread of adulterated version of this drink
