Funny thread!My friend says if I speak like in "Allo Allo" I will be understood perfectly!
Monsieur le President of a small yacht cllub in Marseille harbour in a local heavily accented some language or other (perhaps Occitan) says to my ears"cochon" I say are you really calling me a pig?
Silence for a moment:Then he shakes with laughter and says no, I want a "caution" i.e. a deposit for your marina stay!Much more chuckling, and we become good pals, reasonable rates etc!
More faux amis eh?
