    “Jay parlay France-says tray bee-en! Jaytude France-says pour treys anss in laycole!”

    I was in Quebec, and the locals kept trying to talk to me in French. I can technically understand French, but not at those speeds. I only had to say that phrase once to anyone, and they immediately switched to English and begged me to not speak French again. If you sound like Peggy Hill attempting to speak French, then you’ve nailed this phrase.

      Québécois is a whole other can of worms.
