This is a question Lies that got out of control

Ever 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)

called code swichting. Gets really interesting when you live in a multilingual society, and start switching languages depending on situation. Among other things it is used to increase/decrease social distance.

People who are good communicators do it better. Poor communicators might not even realise it exists.
