When you order food at a restaurant and don't finish everything on your plate. You should feel shame at this point.

Get the Shame Platemug. What you pretend-irritably toss back at present company when he "foreign languages you" with a casual request for or an acknowledgment of your assistance. (Obviously this would not be da case wif Gomez Addams, though, since he actually ENJOYS when Morticia speaks French, and so he would never feel irritable or resentful if she uttered thus to him.)
Person A, collecting small dropped objects from a pebbly beach, and passing them one-by-one to Person B to hold for him: S'il vous plait?
Person B, obligingly accepting said items from Person A, but feeling a bit disgusted at seemingly being utilized as merely a portable storage-unit: Silver plates?!

Get the Silver plates?!mug. A practice in European Union, when its Member State adds new (and often more demanding) requirements to those that are expected in common legislation - mainly directives. Sometimes caused by overzealous bureaucrats, sometimes it is just their pure idiocy.
Bureaucrat 1: Recipients of this EU schemes are asked to submit invoices upon the end of the project.
Bureaucrat 2: Let's also ask them to write a 100-page long end-of-mission report, 10 testimonies of beneficiaries and copies of Annual reports 10 years back.
Bureaucrat 1: But that is gold-plating!
Bureaucrat 2: Sure, but we do not really want European money.

Get the Biffer Platemug. N. A person with the odd dining habit of eating each item on their plate in its entirety before rotating the plate and eating the next one.
I was a plate-turner as a child: had to eat all of my pork chop first, then all of the green beans, then the mashed potatoes, rotating the plate each time so the next food item was directly in front of me.
