          @0xabad1dea They had the decency to use italics though, which is 1000% kinder than whatever gibberish typically leaves my multilingual mouth when speaking with close family 🤣

                ‘Linguini Houdini’ is a good one!

                My wife has made up the rhyming phrase ‘grande importante’, which she uses to describe very important things that we must remember. It may also be insulting to several romance languages.

                        @0xabad1dea yeah, that's pushing it a bit.

                        My favourite bit along those lines is "lingua franca", a _Latin_ term for _French language_, but these days, idiomatically, means _English_...

                        (And probably don't get you started either about how much of a right illegitimate stepchild of a language English is...)
