Usually foreign words are newer words for objects or actions recently invented and they lack a proper French word to describe it. Words such as "taxi" are an example. One could describe a taxi entirely in "native" French words, but that would be a fairly lengthy description as opposed to simply "taxi". Other times, they are simply slang words that people use but have not been recognized by the French Academy.
