I like to take bleu cheese dressing and add more bleu cheese to it.  

Why are we using the French word for blue, by the way?  I went along because I didn't want to seem unsophisticated, but then I looked it up, and "bleu" is the French word for "blue."

It may be cliché to use French words and spellings while conversing in English, but I do not find it a faux pas. 
Perhaps my Laissez-faire attitude toward such linguistic integrations may be seen as a grammatical gaffe by some, but I find the usage to be chic. 

Not merely part of the décor ornamenting my correspondence, but deeper than that. Such musings speak to my inner joie de vivre. 

My fiancée has accused me of attempting to disguise my humble roots with this verbal façade, however I've assured her that she's only experienced a mere aperitif while the entrée has not yet been served! 

Bon appetit!!
