teube < that's French for dumbass....XD

silly rabbit, trix r fer kids. hoping to get a little French action? hmm? you are naughty

Should have just continued speaking French to avoid the imminent awkwardness

I think they were playing a prank on you, they spoke french and then pretended like they actually spoke English when you wanted to talk to them

So.. what language was it?

I had a near identical experience. I was climbing Machu Picchu when two of the most beautiful men I've ever seen in my life approached me, speaking in Spanish. "I'm sorry," I replied, "I don't speak Spanish." "We know," one of them said, "We're speaking English." Their accents were so think I didn't realize they were speaking my native tongue to me. I paused for a moment, mortified, then said, "Bye!" and ran away. What a smooth operator I am.

I think it's pretty easy to mix up some languages. I tend to listen for sounds that are used and then for words I might know. And even with those two steps it's very easy to get some mixed up considering many languages develop from similar roots and borrow from each other.

Alcohol turns English to French

So how can you put your foot in your mouth when the other ones already there

that is totally your fault
