Lies that got out of controlEver claimed you could speak a foreign language to impress friends, colleagues and/or get laid? Make a twat of yourself - and I couldn't possibly comment - saying you were the godson of the chairman of BP? Tell us how your porkies have caught up with you
(Thanks to augsav and Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic for the suggestions)

When I started living in EnglandI wouldn't understand 3/4 of what people talked to me, which meant I'd say "yes, yes" to almost everything.
I didn't want to seem stupid, so usually I wouldn't admit I hadn't understood and keep going with the story; faking you're Italian for more years(rather than Spanish) is quite stupid, though.

That is actually my pet hateI run a Youth Hostel and if something has been asked or told of you for your own safety of for the concideration of others Someone going, 'Yes. Yes. Yes.' outside the bedroom is a danger to themselves and others.
That's not an exageration. People get killed travelling abroad as they agree to things in the native language that some poeple hold them to.
Will you pay £100 for this stripper/bar entry/hooker.
Yes.
You're held to it and they'll quite happily hurt you as you agreed to it. Doesn't matter if they know you don't understand or not.
The other is that if you're trying to explain something to someone and you know they don't understand you and you've tried to explain it again and again for their own benefit. To have the fucktard just repeat assent over and over is utterly infuriating.

I have to say few English people could probably tell the difference between Spanish and Italian!
