Pocahontas effect

When after a few drinks, you become convinced that if you listen with your heart, you will understand. You listen to conversations in foreign languages with what you think is near perfect comprehension, perhaps even speaking back in the few words you know of their language or of an entirely different one.

Last night, I tried to charm the hot Italian bartender by speaking in Spanglish. What can I say? The Pocahontas effect strikes again.
