A good way to shut them up is to ask them what the capital of France is. When they invariably say “Paris”, sneer at them and sarcastically say “No, it’s ‘Pa-ree’”.You can even toss in that obnoxious throat growl the French do when they say their “r”s.

I've lived/worked in 7 other countries for extended periods, and a few places around the US. Now I live in Texas, my speech pattern and accent usually gets me strange looks until I pick up on the local slang. Maybe I should tell people I'm a refugee and they'll give me free stuff.
