engrish of the day

My chef and I were talking about different animals that we have and haven't eaten, like dog, quail, squirrel (?!!?!)...

Chef: "Have you ever eaten "è yú" before?"
Me: "What's that?"

Chef: "Mmm... you know, in English it's called lacouh"

Me: "What? I've never heard of that...What is it?" (thinking to myself, what in the world is a lacouh?!)

Chef: "You know, lacouh! It has a big mouth...lacouh!" [slight pause, then calling another chef] "Ai! A-wen, how do you say "è yú" in English? Isn't it 'lacouh' "?

A-wen: "Aiya, no it isn't. La-cos is a brand name, not the name of the animal..."

Meanwhile, now that I had realized that my chef had mistakenly thought that an alligator was called a lacoste, I started laughing so hard that I could barely stand, let alone breathe. Tooooo freaking funny.

After telling Sam the story...

Sam: But he's a FOB!!! Not even! He's still over the border!

Me: That's why it's so FUNNY!
