Quelqu'un sait ce qu'il avance ou ce qu'il fait

me: I was talking to Rafael about the project...
Marzia: Who's Rafael again?
me: Brazilian dude who sits in front row.
Marzia: He's Brazilian? Like he grew up there?
me: I don't know, I know he speaks it fluently.
Marzia: Man, that's not fair. He has no accent. I say three words and people are like, "oh, where are you from?" Go to hell, peoples.

That's right, kama'aina! You roast that whole pig and hula for the haoles!

Stephanie: We are going to a luau tomorrow night. I hope I don't get depressed like when I go to the zoo or the dolphin shows.

(Side note, I know an unusually high amount of pidgin Hawaiian slang for a mainlander. Ah, I suppose it makes sense; my parents used to live on Molokai and I have plenty of family on Oahu.)

Hot damn, he speaks French.

Whoa whoa whoa, AND Vartan? Merde.

J'adore les langues!
