Scram!
My family and I were taken by some French friends to a maze where you found questions at certain points and filled in the answer you thought was correct on a worksheet. At one of these points our group arrived at the same time as a French mother and her small child. I tried to be polite and let the kid go first, so I smiled and said Va t'en! Unfortunately, this means 'Go away' - I should have said Vas-y. You could see the mother thinking 'What a horrible old bat!' and my friends were curling up in embarrassment.
