A close friend of mine hails from Sweden and, although he speaks English and knows American slang pretty well, he still occasionally has some issues. A few years ago he was attempting to say that he didn't think someone was from Los Angeles and was actually a 'transplant'. But he got his words mixed up and ended up saying the person was an implant. We were all in a car at the time and it was so hysterical that we had to pull over for a minute. I love that man. Not long after that incident, I met another 'implant' who has a great grasp on American lingo (she's a teacher, she kinda has to) but has the occasional slip up. In college she had a fair amount of slip ups and a friend of hers dubbed these misses "foreigner exemptions". The expression caught on and now every time a foreigner confuses their words, we dub it an exemption. But it had been awhile since the reason for the creation of the term had an exemption of her own. And it was a glorious return. Fonz bless the foreigners!
