My So-Called Friends


My friends are from all over the world, and whenever they speak, they always slip in a word from their native tongue. Today they decided to play the game Two Truths and a Lie. To make it more fun, each friend spoke their own lie, but two other friends’ truths. What a group of weirdos — they’re always hiding something!

What would be a good name for our friend group?
