      They'd probably be more pissed if you nicked their job by pretending you were dead good at it, and then forked everything up, and then shat on the floor.

          That's actually quite offensive.

            why?

            Person accidentally makes a mistake in a foreign language, its a doozy so I laugh at it whilst admitting I'm completely ignorant of their language.

              Definition of intimate
              intimated; intimating
              transitive verb
              1 : to make known especially publicly or formally : announce
              2 : to communicate delicately and indirectly : hint

              My guessing is the first definition is what you want.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Yep, sounds reasonable to me. I can only guess the OP found the comment funny because he's not familiar with the word "intimate" as a verb, and assumed some verbal use of one of the adjectival usages. If so, it's quite humorous that he's pointed out an Indian (presumably?) for having poor language skills while it's actually that he himself didn't know the meaning the speaker was using.
