My husband told me that if I really wanted to impress everyone, especilly his mother, just say "this" at the end of the meal. Well, I practiced the Japanese phrase ad nauseum and finally the BIG moment came. I waited for the applause but all I got was a lot of blank faces and dropped jaws!!!! I think my father in law to be dropped his chopsticks. I know he turned red! After a moment, they all started laughing! His brother whispered to me what I had said. Something along the lines of "Thank you so much for the meal. It tasted like c*r*p." I have NEVER forgiven him for that!
Have you ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? That happened to the guy who was marrying the girl lol. He was supposed to say something about going into the house for a meal, but his brother in law told him to say something about his penis, I can't remember exactly what though.
