I saw this on Facebook this morning and I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to use it. I think the best thing to do is just let it speak for itself:

Definition of Faux Pas:

(fō pä’)

A social blunder.
[French : faux, false + pas, step.]

Dictionary.com. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/faux pas (accessed: February 24, 2010).

Yep, it definitely qualifies as a faux pas. Enjoy…
