That is a masterfully crafted mansplaining trap.

Chappeau.

That's actually just the first part of the phrase. The whole thing is "je ne suis pas français, chappeau"

edit: Ok this was supposed to be a joke about mansplaining something you know nothing about, but we fell into Poe's law.

je ne suis pas français, chappeau

I tried googling this to see if I was missing some reference or something and it led to strange google behavior I've never seen before... When I search "je ne suis pas français, chappeau" without the quotation marks, Google automatically changes the French to English in the search bar when I hit the search button.

Anyone else experienced this? For what possible fucking purpose would that exist?

I didn't get that behavior, but no significant result to explain the expression either.

But on the topic of weird behaviors, try to get copilot or meta AI to make a sign or an image for you with a phrase in a different language than your own.

They always translate it, I can't get them to keep the exact text at all.
