Our lesson this time goes back to a joke made by chat-show host Trevor Noah last summer, following the World cup. The only thing is, some people didn’t find his joke funny at all, not least the French ambassador in Washington. So what was it all about, again? Let’s start, as usual, with a conversation to put things in context.

32: "How are things going for your new colleague?"
31: "Tell me about your hometown..."
30: "White, Red or Rosé?"
29: "It's been a long time!... What have you been up to?!"
28: "Do you have the internet at home?"
27: "Wow! Your hair looks great!"
26: "Could you do me a favour?"
