call me outlander, and i will be
the auslander, and force you (mr official) to struggle with your english, and when you do i will take great pleasure in correcting your grammar, and look at you and talk to you like your retarded just because you can't speak my language as well as me.
or sometimes i give them that look that the rural french give you if you dare to speak thier language with anything other than perfect accent. (even though i am insisting that they address me in english)
also it can be usefull, when you are white, and in another country and get people to talk english to you, they automatically asume you dont understand the local lingo
as i said though, not the quickest way to get through customs
