Isn't that something to do with soccer, which is called le foutre in French? I guess it means "This is a soccer pitch", though why they think you would care is beyond me.
The reason I know the word is that my daughter-in-law from Montreal (no longer with us, after the unpasteurized cheese incident, but she's no great loss) often used to tell her boys to go and faire foutre themselves when they were getting underfoot (that word again!) in the house.
Praying for you, Brother.
