Thank you for grabbing my tit.

The french word "beaucoup" sounds dangerously close to the vietnamese words "bop yeu" ( lit. "grab tit"). So to the untrained vietnamese ear, "merci beaucoup" might as well be "thanks for grabbing my tit." Whenever someone says "merci beaucoup", Na tattles to her mom, because that's just vulgar.
