ThatNiceMan asks: Have you ever been talking with people down the pub when somebody throws such a complete curveball (Sample WTF moment: "I wonder what it's like to get bummed") that all talk is stopped dead? Tell us!

jimmy_mann's post below reminded me of a less than suave moment a few years back.
This lass introduced herself as Portia. I loudly quipped, "What, like the car?!" (I'd been drinking for a couple of hours, it seemed funny at the time.)

She looked at me as if I'd just shat in her handbag, then neatly edited me out of the scene for the rest of the evening.

Was she a scouser? you could have said 'You're very pretty Portia. The quality of Mersey is not strange'. /smug

Sounds like you got off lightly.
Would you want a brother-in-law called Tarquin, Quentin, or Perceval?

That was never going to be an issue.
Even if I'd dialled up the charm any higher than 0, nice educated young women simply don't associate with half-foreign peasants like me.
