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?

Get the Platemug. A generously loaded plate of food, typically prepared at a family gathering or event, where portions are piled so abundantly that layers of different foods overlap. It often includes multiple servings, ensuring the diner remains seated without needing to return for seconds or thirds.
