Bill,
Did you ever hear the story about the faux pas? It goes like this
One afternoon at the palace, a young footman inquired of Jeeves the butler,
"Excuse me, Sir. But what is a faux pas?"
Jeeves considers a moment and replies,
"You will recall how M'Lady entertained the Archbishop this afternoon by taking him into the garden where the Archbishop perchanced to prick his finger on M'Lady's roses?"
"Then, while taking tea in the library, M'Lady inquired of the Archbishop.'Tell me Archbishop. Does your swollen prick still throb?'"
"And you, overhearing, dropped M'Lady's best silver tea pot on the hardwood floor, causing considerable damage?"
"That was a faux pas!"
