Safe for work, but caution may still be recommended

My inner Frenchman recoils. Also my not-so-inner guesser. From the title, I thought it was going to be TORTOISE (I ignored the prompt), and the first letter or two made me even surer.
I hadn't seen this phrase, especially spelled this way, in a long time, so I had the answer for a while before even realizing I had it. The title and the clues worked together very nicely.
Yes, I'm getting the sense that this isn't as widely known a phrase as I thought. My primary cultural references come from Looney Tunes, so that may explain a few things...
I didn't know that this phrase was Anglicized! A very pleasant learning experience ahah.

Fun, Mark!
I struggled with this more than I should have - from left to right, the first letters of the themers start to give an answer: FAST... but then ... SSRSF?!?! How could that FAST be wrong? But it was... slept on it, and re-reading the title got me to the finish line. Enjoyed it!
