Why English is a dirty language!
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franglais
Perhaps the oldest example of Frenglish in English literature is found in Henry V by William Shakespeare. A French princess is trying to learn English, but unfortunately, "foot" as pronounced by her maid sounds too much like foutre (vulgar French, "semen" or "to have sexual intercourse" when used as a verb) and "gown" like con (French "cunt", also used to mean "idiot"). She decides English is too obscene a language.

I also like the nuances between Spanish and French...
So a Frenchman is practicing his Spanish skills with a Spaniard and says "Me gusta comer les gateaus"

Hahaha! This kind of reminds me of buffalax-ing. Lol. It is basically the art of taking a non-english music video and giving it subtitles for what it sounds like in English. Here's a link that that tells a little about it with a few videos as well.
Here is a decent buffalaxed version of Alizée's J'en ai marre. It's the only one that is done of her that I know of. Most I've seen are of Indian music videos. Very funny stuff LOL. Check out the buffalax channel on YouTube

. I only found buffalax-ing a week or so ago. Stumbled upon the J'en ai marre one, then watched some others. Gave me quite a good laugh. I'm so glad I found it! Funny stuff LOL

The art of What's Up, Tiger Lily?

You can also play a party game based on something even harder. You turn the sound off some film or television program and then try to extemporaneously supply amusing dialog. Naturally, the people doing this have to be pretty smart and creative! P.S. If I invited a herd of buffaloes to a party at my house, I'd be damned sure NONE of them had swallowed any Buffalax(tm) in advance! Don't believe the nonsense of how "gentle" it works!

 All the parts about a moose! Johnny, Madonna have a mom! Mom, I'm an asshole! Palace of goose and icky blood! What a bad loose/literal translation based on what you think it sounds like in English if you don't understand French on purpose as a joke, it's so funny!
