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)

Not so much a foreign language,but I tell everyone I'm Canadian to avoid conversations related to American politics and the NBA (people are strangely obsessed here). I've memorised every Toronto factoid on Wikipedia, and am always sure to use correct spellings (colour, organise, centre, etc.).
My entire Turkish neighborhood, however, found me out last week. My free kebap across is gone now. The men on stoops give me shifty eyes. At least I can hide my head in shame--as a woman here, it's surprisingly easy.

That's why I use my New Zealand passport when traveling abroad. I picked up enough of an accent living there that most people think I'm Canadian, so I just let them believe that.
