According to google translate, 'câline de bine' means 'good hugs'.
I will, however, be calling it a wheelie bin from now on...

its a bastardization of "calice" {KAW-liss} which is .. chalice: great goblet.. its an expression of surprise or frustration..
Pretty much all Quebec French swears are religious..
Basically, I can string together religious items, and they become a swear..

This is just outside my garage door. The rocks and bungee cords are to keep the raccoons out as this is where we store corn and bird seed. If you look closely at the first two with bungee cords you can see a lot of raccoon footprints on the tops.

Long story short (ok, not really, its still too long. . . )
My previous employer provided a large piece of equipment for a company who made airplanes and was located in Quebec. During installation (a few month process due to the size of the equipment) various engineers, technicians and service people were on-site for quite a while. It was not uncommon for our employees to hear various terms (not going to list here, but available in the above wiki article) that were obviously intended as profanity, but just made no sense to the Americans. At one point, one of the Americans said cul-de-sac (i.e. the round thing at the end of a street is the common usage in the US if that term isn't familiar to some readers who have lasted this long) and the Quebicois version sounded like coot-de-sak, but was said so fast it was closer to coot-sak. So for the rest of the trip and for years later, if something went wrong, you'd hear an engineer yell 'COOT-SAK!!!', even people who never went on that trip adopted it back at the home office.
I have no clue if it is a real profanity in Montreal, but at a small company in North Carolina it was for quite a few years.

Fun fact: If you actually keep trash in trash cans, a bag of cat litter box waste inside the can will keep raccoons from messing with it.

I don't get it. Not surprising with a BlackBrant post. I'm just not hip enough.
