Excuse my French

Hi,

Is this expression common enough in modern English (=saying sorry for swearing)?

If it is NOT, what is a natural and common way for a speaker to apologize for his strong language? :-)

mus-te

Yes, that's what it means, and it's fairly well-known, I think. If you don't like it, you could just say "Excuse my language".
