New York Magazine ran a contest for people with silver tongues and a command of foreign languages. The rules were to take any well-known phrase in a foreign language, change just a single letter and then provide a definition for the new expression. Thank you, Jennifer Fisher, for sending us these. Here are some of our favourites:

Harlez vous francais?
Can you drive a French motorcycle?

Idios Amigos
We’re wild and crazy guys.

Cogito, eggo sum
I think. Therefore, I am a waffle.

Respondez s’il vous plaid
Honk if you’re Scottish.

Le roi est mort. Jive le roi
The king is dead. No kidding.

Monage a trois
I am three years old.
