Speaking a different language...
I always find it so funny to listen to people speak in their own language and then hear them drop in a phrase or word that is distinctly English. I had 2 employees from Vietnam in my office doing some paperwork. One got called on the radio and he answered in Vietnamese and then I heard very distinctly "Benefits office" and then the rest. It made me chuckle inside a little.

I think that's funny, too. The guy I share a cube wall with does that in Russian - blah blah blah policy renewal blah blah.
I also used to sit by a woman who did that all the time in Spanish.
If you think about it, it is no different than using french words in english:)
