Strangely enough, I understand it. I think I know what the matter is.When I speak Czech these days, I think in English and translate into Czech. Words are correct but grammar is shite. Not so bad anymore but still bad anough to label me a non-local over there.Me thinks he's doing the same thing.

One time I was being serious.
I do that a lot with Quebecois... think in one language, write or speak in the other, and it alternates which direction I'm going.

I have a hard time, at times, when I use a phrase which particular language it may be from. It makes for really weird metaphors and euphemisms sometimes when one cultural concept doesn't translate as well as the words do.

No, it's more like taking a metaphor that works in one language, makes sense and is known, and using it in another language. Then people look at you like you just said you'd like to take the decaying moose corpse and drop it on the table.
