My boss doesn't mind having a lend. We both once worked with a woman who had grown up speaking French at home. As a result, she was prone to missing some of the more colourful parts of the English language.
One day she and Boss Man were walking into a meeting and she was complaining of having a sore back. "Sore back, eh?" sympathised Boss Man, and went on to suggest she try a cure that might be described as somewhat colloquial.
The woman obviously took a few minutes to realise she had no idea what he'd said and as everyone settled round the table and silence descended she asked the room, 'What does this mean? 'A hot sweat over a live corpse'?"
