When asked why you decided to come to France, tell them, "J'ai voulu beaucoup des aventures avant de me marier." Literal translation: "I wanted to have many adventures before getting married." What it really means: "I wanted to be very promiscuous before getting married."
Ask for une trompette (trumpet) when what you want is une trombone (paperclip).
During a conversation about Thanksgiving, tell your French friend how hard it is to be far from your amants (lovers) instead of your bien-aimés (loved ones).
Give your height in kilometers.
When politely motioning someone to go in front of you, tell them "Va t'en!" (get the frick out) instead of "Allez-y!" (go ahead).
