But we're speaking Japanese!

[matsuki]

I get that 「英語わからない」 occasionally from old men but the immediate turn to lemur to speak is almost never failing. (Unless I speak up first)

[J.A.F.O]

Sometimes it makes me wanna learn Russian or French orGerman Just so I can say I don't fucking speak English.

Just speak Swedish chef until they give up.

You don't need to speak another language in order to pretend to not speak English...

May we.

[Grumpy Gramps]

I sometimes think, it's not only them, it's me just as well. On days, when I am grumpier than usual, tense and in a bad mood, things like this or "cashier girl gives my credit card back to the wife" seem to happen more often than on those rare days, when I am all smiles, relaxed and happy.

I know some, who look Japanese, but don't speak the lingo. For them it seems to be real hellish, though

[legion]

I just revert to my native tongue

[Coligny]

"Nissta ne razumem" will get you out of trouble anywhere outside of slavic countries...

Until the second were you realize you landed in a Russian resort in VietNam... then shit gets weird... (and me Julie presumed nationality switched from Japanese to somewhere from eastern Siberia or sumthing)

Agreed but I'm a horrible liar. To me it always feels like their thinking... "you speak English... Come on you know you speak English"

[kurogane]

Yeah, I'm with you. If you do speak another, fine. Otherwise.............if I didn't speak baby Danish I couldn't pull that one off either. Nice thing is, nobody speaks Danish, and even the Danes don't know what I am saying anymore, coz it's 100 year old farmer speak. But Japanese often don't buy it because they think English is the natinal language of Gaikoku, and that includes Denmark. I do enjoy that one.

[matsuki]

I tried to pull out my shitty French ”Je ne parle pas Anglais" to some bum lookin' oyaji that was bothering me in Shibuya a few years back....fucker replies "no problem! Je parle Francais bien!"

Try speaking Apache.

[matsuki]

It's worse than my French...but some of the words are similar/same as Japanese so might not be the best idea.

I still think my Swedish chef suggestion is best.

Suddenly, I feel so happy to be Dutch!

Isn't it traditional in Holland to stick your finger up the nearest dyke to stop the flow, or I am I getting legends confused?

She has a tendency to punch you in the face if you do that.

I think she just wanted to punch you, a good fingering is unisex, like muffdiving...

I did too, spent an hour watching Swedish chef videos on YouTube. Popcorn was pretty good.

Hmmm, maybe if I looked Nordic that might help, but I just look English/ French. (If there is such a look)

If only I could look as handsome as those two. Would definitely be a step up for my ugly mug.

Yeah, Dutch culture.



Sticking it in a dyke in case of emergencies is indeed totally in line with those old Dutch traditional values that has kept our lands free of the most freely available resource on earth.

However, an amoral counterculture has built since the mid-60's that strongly discourages the filling of holes other than by inorganic implements...

[Wage Slave]

Funny how your eyes change over time. I never used to get art like this. Now I love it. I have this one on my desktop at the moment and it sort of sparkles out across the room. Amazing.



And for some reason I find the melody and lyrics in this track, inspired by a similarish painting, hauntingly beautiful. Especially from about 1:40 if you are short of time.

or perhaps the studio version:

I'm probably just generic Northern European, but even a touch of some other tongue does help the charade carry. I vote for the Swedish Chef routine, though I envy Russell his Dutch Treat trick. That must really F them up. Resorting to French is always a dangerous one anywhere: francophiles abound, the Japanese ones can be particularly fanatical, and isn't French about #3 on the Global Language list?

Yeah, stick with Scando, fake or otherwise.

Actually, I do not use that trick at all, because a foreigner only able to speak his own non-English language just looks plain stupid.

The only time when it is convenient to speak Dutch is when, in public in a non-Dutch speaking country, I want to discuss matters that are not meant to be understood by strangers.
