Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Exposed
I once claimed I could speak Slovak. In a pub I was cajoled into saying something in Slovak, so I spurt some gobbledigook in a Slavic accent. To the untrained ear, it did sound like an eastern European language.
A nearby girl came over and enquired what I was talking about. It turns out she was fluent in Slovak too. She then translated what she had heard me say,
"blah blah tree blah blah under blah blah tree blah elliptical blah" was the general gist.
Have you ever been exposed as a fraud?
