The subject line is a homage to "Let's Parler Franglais
One More Temps" by the brilliant Miles Kington.

But "es gibt ein Trick dabei" is by no means Deutschglish in parallel with Franglais.
"Trick" is a perfectly legitimate German word that just happens to have the same
spelling (except for case) as the English equivalent.
Just as it isn't Franglais to say "J'aimerais bien aller au cafe" even though the English
word, "cafe" is the same.

Je voudrais faire le pointe quatre. Le deux tourre Eiffel ont besoins de faire quelque chose. E j'ais fear per mon homme solitaire aux derriere avec le outre play.
Translation available upon request. Never studied Franglais. Domage.

Je ne suis pas un native speaker de Franglais. Mais je crois, si
un word est common en Anglais, comme "pas," as in "pas de deux,"
ou "faux pas," then tout le monde sait how to spell it. Mais le
gender est tres difficile pour un boneheaded Anglais-speaker to
remember.

By default, words borrowed from English are masculine unless they apply to a woman only.

I opted to hit, but XG says that O's offensive structure is too
strong for that. See also the variant below.
