do a foreign moment
To start speaking a foreign language that the person being addressed doesn't, or is not likely to, understand. Comes in very handy when you're trying to shake off panhandlers and other people with whom you don't to get involved.
A group of Arab kids came up to me and asked me if they wanted me to smoke a joint. I wanted to do a foreign moment, so I just told them, "nye govoryu po-angliyskiy!". That's Russian for "I don't speak English!".
