Words in a Foreign Language Thought to be Insults. An ignorant man (woman) mistakes polite words from a foreign language (e.g. pardon, merci) for insults [J1802] (he gets a wrong translation of these words from a jester).
In some variants, the insults in a foreign language are misinterpreted as polite remarks. Cf. Type 1699.
