people who ostentatiously drop the occasional English phrase into their speech to sound sophisticated much as the English once did with French.

kinda offtopic but things like this occasionally remind me of the CBSC’s ruling on how using ‘fuck’ in french is family-friendly enough for radio:

Canada decides the F-word is not taboo for radio listeners’ ears

so we have that going for it at least

that\u2019s funny, so fuck me is still obscene but fuck moi is fine

pardon my french
