| Fee Fi Faux Pas | comment |
A character says something inappropriate or embarrassing to the wrong person or within earshot of the wrong person. They mention having taken a woman's virginity in front of said woman and her new boyfriend. They wear fur in the presence of an overzealous animal lover. Or they eat peas with their knife. And now the eyes of the world are upon them, sneering and/or laughing contemptuously at their little (or not so little) faux pas. A faux pas can be defined as "a social blunder" or "a violation [intentional or not] of accepted social rules or norms". It can be a Freudian Slip, it can put The "Fun" in "Funeral", it can result in someone saying "How Did That Get in There?" It could even be something as simple as tripping and falling ("faux pas" literally means "false step"). And it is, 99% of the time, played for comedy in fiction. Funny Foreigners and Fish out of Water are particularly prone to this (see Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle). You can only hope and pray that those around you will have the good grace to refrain from lining up and rubbing your face in it. Speaking of grace, this trope also comes into play when a character is saying grace before a meal, alongside another character or characters who have already begun eating food. This trope has no connection whatsoever to the webcomic Faux Pas (which is actually pronounced "Fox Paws", unlike the French, which is more to the effect of "foe pah"). Subtropes may include one or more of the following: Accidental Public Confession Did I Just Say That Out Loud? Digging Yourself Deeper Fake Fabric Fashion Faux Pas Freudian Slip Freudian Slippery Slope Fumbling the Gauntlet The "Fun" in "Funeral" How Did That Get in There? Idiotic Partner Confession Innocently Insensitive Ignore the Disability Open Mouth, Insert Foot Right Behind Me Right in Front of Me Saying Too Much That Came Out Wrong Might provoke a Passing Judgment or The Freelance Shame Squad reaction from nearby onlookers. See also Forgot About the Mind Reader, where the character doesn't even have to speak. I Meant to Do That is when the character pretends the blunder was in fact done on purpose in order to mitigate the embarrassment. Compare Protocol Peril, which is what happens when a particular faux pas is treated as a life or death matter. |

Most of the stories and questions in Were You Raised by Wolves? have to do with major social blunders and how they played out, followed by advice on how to handle them. In many episodes, a listener recounts one of these and asks "was this rude" to seek validation. | |

In the first issue of the New 52 Batgirl series, Barbara Gordon's new roommate sees the wheelchair lift on Barbara's van and makes a comment about how being "trapped in a chair" is her worst fear, since it would be "like prison". Barbara's internal narration says that she knows her roommate didn't mean anything by it, and she's not ready to correct her and that she has no way of knowing that Barbara herself used to need it, and when she was in the chair she was Oracle. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: In the first season, Admiral Lindy, wishing to make Nanoha more comfortable and show her appreciation for Nanoha's culture, invites the title character to a tea ceremony. She then proceeds to prepare her green tea by dropping lumps of sugar in it and adding milk, a Japanese no-no (Lindy's doing it British-style with Japanese aesthetics) that causes Nanoha to be horrified.◊ This later turned into a running gag. The fourth StrikerS sound stage revealed that she introduced it to Mary. Ginga, who also drinks her tea this way, asks her father, who is suggested to be of Japanese descent, if he would like to try it, and he politely refuses. Lindy's adopted daughter Fate has a better grasp of Japanese culture (given that she actually grew up there) though she also gets some things wrong. For example, she was under the impression that you're supposed to go commando while wearing a kimono, a misconception that wouldn't get cleared up until she was in her twenties. Continuing the tradition set by Lindy and Fate, we have Vivio. Her attempt to throw a New Year's party results in Nanoha coming home to find a cactus in the hallway as a kadomatsu and Rio hanging up a noose as a wreath. |

Gentleman Jack: While in Denmark, Anne makes a visit to the Danish court and is told to introduce herself to the queen. She approaches a well-dressed older woman and politely curtsies to "Her Majesty"... only to be informed that the queen is actually the younger woman standing next to her. Luckily, the queen takes it in stride and is quite friendly to Anne, and everyone laughs about it later. | |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: The Decadent Court themed social mission Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts is all about avoiding this by speaking in flowery terms, measured by "Court Approval". Basically, it's really easy to be considered boorishly blunt. An example is, when greeting The Queen to tell her about an upcoming threat, the player is supposed to use a cold weather metaphor, speaking plainly will lose some approval, speaking in a panic will lose even more. One could be tempted to make a save beforehand and just be a massive Troll. | |

Discworld: In Soul Music, Imp y Celyn is sitting in a waiting room with a dwarf and a troll, and they casually mention that he looks a bit "druidish" (he is). Imp worries that a troll (a stone-based creature) would take offense at people who drag innocent boulders across the country and arrange them in circles, and vehemently denies it, adding "I hate rocks!" for emphasis. The troll, Cliff, patiently explains that "rock" is a derogatory term for troll. Fortunately he's willing to forgive Imp, seeing as he's a fellow musician and clearly didn't mean to offend, and the whole incident ends up breaking the ice for all three. Mr. Nutt has No Social Skills at the beginning of Unseen Academicals, so he frequently says things he shouldn't, e.g. calling Glenda "fecund". |

Vaan in Final Fantasy XII puts his foot in it when the party visits Fran's village, which she left 50 years ago. Not knowing about the viera's longer life span, Vaan asks how old she is, since she looks much younger; he is not only breaking the woman's age taboo, but he's doing it during an emotionally trying time for Fran. | |

One of the many inconveniences that come from the double lives that the characters in Everworld live is that whenever they fall asleep or lose consciousness in Everworld, all of their stored memories instantly download into their Earth brains, no matter what their Earth selves are doing at the time. At one point, Christopher gets a particularly upsetting update (one that ends with him getting knocked out by enemies) right in the middle of dinner with his new girlfriend's parents. What he thought he was doing: tripping, falling, and swearing from the shock. What he was actually doing: leaping headfirst into his girlfriend's mother's cleavage while shouting, "Motherf***er!" | |

Red Dwarf: Rimmer claims he got passed up for a promotion because, at an important dinner with an admiral, his soup was cold. So he demanded it be heated up nice and hot. It was done so. Unfortunately, it was Gazpacho soup (which is meant to be served cold)... However, Rimmer claims he could have been an admiral by the time Red Dwarf had its disaster, even though he was the second lowest crewmember on the ship and the dinner was less than a year before he died. This was very nearly Truth in Television. The creators went out to dinner in a fancy restaurant and were served gazpacho soup - they were about to send it back when one of the other diners explained. |

Like Daredevil above, Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender is prone to being on the receiving end of blind-insensitve comments. Of course, she also loves setting people up (Sokka mostly) to walk right into this situation. She even pulls this on herself where she makes the assumption that Katara's suggestion that she team up with Sokka to hang posters throughout the city was because Katara thought she was too weak to be left alone in the city and not that correctly hanging posters requires sight, as she immediately demonstrates by gluing one to the wall, blank-side-out. | |

One episode of Seinfeld involves Jerry tiptoeing around these while dating a Native American woman, avoiding common phrases with Native roots ("scalping" for tickets, "reservations" regarding a restaurant) to not offend her, after accidentally doing so after buying a fake statue of a stereotypical Native man. Eventually he manages to accuse her of being an "Indian giver" without actually using the word, and their relationship dissolves. | |

When Nick goes to meet Ki's parents in General Protection Fault, he takes great pains to impress her father with his knowledge of Japanese culture, but forgets to take off his shoes upon entering the house. To be fair to Nick, though, Mr. Oshiro is biased against him as a result of how Ki's relationship with Sam turned out, so even Nick's attempts to impress him come off as mocking Asian culture. | |

In Girl Genius, Agatha makes quite the social blunder when she asks Queen Albia of England for a dance. As pointed out by Tarvek, when Albia is sitting on her balcony, people are supposed to pretend she's not in the room. Then Agatha turns a clank she built into a Humongous Mecha that can match Albia's size, upon which Albia starts laughing at Agatha's sheer audacity and happily accepts her invitation. Having lived for thousands of years, Albia is always pleased to meet people who can surprise her. She is especially amused to learn that Agatha did so, along with unleashing a horde of (fake) Jägers upon the ball room, just so that Zeetha and Higgs could have a socially acceptable excuse to dance together. | |

The Right Stuff: The wall behind the bar of Pancho's Happy Bottom Riding Club is covered with pictures of pilots. Early in the film a young girl asks Pancho what a pilot has to do to get a picture on the wall. Pancho replies, "You have to die, sweetie." Later, when a new crop of test pilots arrive at Edwards Air Force Base and visit the bar, the cockiest of the lot, Gordo Cooper, decides to get in Pancho's face when he feels like they're not getting enough respect from her. | |

Piper thanks her profusely, adding that she's happy to get the yogurt because "the food here is disgusting." It turns out that the woman who gave her the yogurt is the head cook, one of the most powerful inmates in the prison. And she takes the insult very personally. | |

Something similar to the above example happens in an episode of Round the Twist. The scenario: The Twists are trying to eat a meal while ignoring Bronson, who's playing them for all their worth by deliberately disregarding table manners. Then he pulls out a fly-swatter (specially prepared for the occasion) and licks it, causing the whole charade to go tits-up. It's later revealed that there are no actual flies on the swatter. | |

Pretty much every character in Daredevil has said or done something after forgetting that Matt is blind. The real estate agent tells him that he and Foggy can fight over the office with the better view. Karen holds a newspaper to his face to show an article about how terrible Wilson Fisk is. Ben Urich shrugs instead of verbally answering. Matt isn't bothered by it, and seems to prefer the odd faux pas to people treating him like he's made of glass. The irony is that with his secret super senses, he can sense a lot of what's going on anyway. It even carries into The Defenders (2017), as in one scene, Matt and Jessica Jones are walking and Jessica makes a slip-up. She quickly apologizes, but Matt laughs it off. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Being an arrogant and sadistic Royal Brat, Joffrey Baratheon is incredibly prone to making disgustingly insensitive gaffes that would probably get anybody else beaten to death. This is bad enough when he's merely a spoiled prince mistreating servants and the like, but becomes downright catastrophic when he becomes king and keeps doing it to powerful nobles and knights that could very easily destroy him. Before too long, his inept rule and constant thoughtless comments (such as openly denigrating the recently deceased Renly Tyrell right in front of his still-living family) plunge Westeros into a brutal civil war. | |

In The West Wing episode "The Midterms", Doctor Jenna Jacobs, a conservative radio talkshow host, is publicly humiliated by the President of the United States (he draws her into clarifying that she is not an MD, but rather has a PhD in English, and then after she defends her stance that homosexuality is a sin by quoting the Book of Leviticus, asks her a serious of rapid-fire questions about whether he could sell his daughter into slavery, have his chief of staff executed for working on the Sabbath Day, etc. all while citing different verses of Leviticus (President Bartlett being a very well-studied Catholic), before finally pointing out what drew his wrath upon her. | |

In Pygmalion, Higgins takes Eliza to a dinner party to practice her society manners. As she prepares to depart after navigating the evening without ever quite making any irrecoverable errors, another guest asks if she intends to walk home (meaning to offer her his company). She replies with a perfectly-enunciated "Not bloody likely!" and goes to hail a taxi, leaving the party (and, at the play's debut, the audience) in uproar. | |

Jason around Kelly in Mystery Team. He explains to the (orphaned) girl that life isn't fair because he didn't get a bike for Christmas, tells her to have fun at her parents' wake, and says her skin feels similar to what a dolphin's must feel like. The whole Mystery Team is like this. For example, their most common suspect is Old Man McGinty, whom they suspect for murder when he is clearly very comatose. They break into his house. Twice. |

In Final Fantasy X, Tidus' stay in Spira is an extended one of these. He's accompanying Yuna on her quest to become High Summoner, in which she summons the Final Aeon to destroy the gigantic monster that's been terrorizing the world. He spends the bulk of the game talking about how they can relax and enjoy themselves and such after their quest is complete. The problem? Tidus is unaware that becoming High Summoner involves a Heroic Sacrifice, because summoning the Final Aeon kills the person who summons it. When he finds out, he realizes that all of his talk about what they were going to do afterwards was extremely awkward. He promptly has a massive What the Hell, Hero? moment directed at the rest of the group for not telling him the truth of the situation. | |

Seph is surprised that they were willing to trade after Cid called their chief "Little Guy", but they brush it off. Later, after hours of fruitlessly trying to so much as dent the metal, they both admit the dwarves got them back for the insult. Hard. | |

In Soul Music, Imp y Celyn is sitting in a waiting room with a dwarf and a troll, and they casually mention that he looks a bit "druidish" (he is). Imp worries that a troll (a stone-based creature) would take offense at people who drag innocent boulders across the country and arrange them in circles, and vehemently denies it, adding "I hate rocks!" for emphasis. The troll, Cliff, patiently explains that "rock" is a derogatory term for troll. Fortunately he's willing to forgive Imp, seeing as he's a fellow musician and clearly didn't mean to offend, and the whole incident ends up breaking the ice for all three. | |

Andy, in Sticky Dilly Buns, is accidentally misled into confusing the naïve and prudish Ruby with her sister, the ex-porn star Amber. Even so, giving Ruby a cock ring as a date gift, and then asking her in public when she discovered that she enjoyed taking her clothes off for the camera, is crass by any standard. Fortunately for him, Ruby doesn't recognise the gift and suffers a total freeze-up at the question. | |

Amelia Peabody pulls out a big one in Crocodile on the Sandbank. An acquaintance confesses that she's been seduced, is therefore Defiled Forever, and fully expects to be kicked out on the street.note In the series' timeframe, this is a rather realistic assessment of the probable outcome of this conversation. Amelia's word vomit response boils down to: "Is sex enjoyable? Because between what my sisters in law say and the looks on the village girls' faces when they've sneaked off into the meadow with their sweethearts, I'm getting mixed signals here." Not exactly acceptable conversation from a respectable Victorian lady. | |

Frasier: Diane Chambers' visit to the Frasier pad doesn't go well when Diane, who wasn't exactly on the best footing with Frasier's dad on account of leaving Frasier at the altar a decade ago, tries making small talk. Her inquiry to Martin about his health gets the response that he had to retire early due to being shot, then had to move in with Frasier because his injury meant he couldn't live by himself, and his wife (who really didn't like Diane) died. Diane awkwardly tries to say he's looking good... and pats him on the leg. Specifically, the bad one. She doesn't do much better with Frasier's brother Niles, asking about the strange woman Niles was dating last time they met, then immediately wondering if she's just said something wrong. She has, since Niles is now estranged from said strange woman. | |
