155 of 210 : Mrs. Gagneau

My high school had a graduating class of 25, with only two of us in honors French. Mrs. Gagneau was a zaftig Haitian woman with a wonderfully sharp sense of humor, a somewhat depressing home life, and a precocious young son. She happily taught us to curse like French stevadores.

What's French for "Go wash out your mouth with soap, young lady!"?

The most useful phrases in any language:
Bring me a beer please.
Where's the toilet please.
