I should have known that, but bloody hell, I couldn't.

4. I think Bartleby's has it... here |
|
faux pas is a French phrase meaning “false step,” which English has borrowed to mean “a social blunder.” Pronounce it FO-PAH or FO-PAH, with plural faux pas pronounced either like the singular or FO-PAHZ or FO-PAH
