Bora Bora

A phrase, commonly used amongst backpackers, to make someone immediately change the language of their conversation into English, so it may be understood by everyone in a international gathering of people. The phrase was first used on the French Polynesian Island Bora Bora, which it also is named after.

Sven (in Swedish) : Jag gillar verkligen ost!
Greta ( Also in Swedish): Jag med! Men bara så länge osten är miljövänlig!

Jimmy: Bora Bora!

Sven: Oh, sorry we were just talking about how Greta really likes smelly farts!
