Par mille sabords is one of Captain Haddock's signature exclamations in Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin, a Belgian comic series that later reached wider audiences through animated television adaptations and films. Haddock, a gruff sea captain introduced as Tintin's companion, became famous for inventing colourful, old-fashioned curses that sounded fierce without being profane. The phrase entered French everyday speech as a playful expression of astonishment, and online it survives as a short reaction clip for moments of disbelief, especially among Tintin fans and French-speaking meme creators.
