Polyglot Gets Rejected

I noticed you are Palestinian. So cool! Do you only speak English or do you speak multiple languages? I am actually a polyglot! I don’t care if you love multiple people at once I meant what languages you speak 😏 I have a boyfriend

A dark-mode direct-message exchange shows someone asking a Palestinian person whether they speak multiple languages. When the person proudly says they are a polyglot, the sender misunderstands “multiple” as dating multiple people, then reveals she has a boyfriend and blocks the conversation. The joke relies on the double meaning of “multiple” and the abrupt rejection. EN: A dark-mode direct-message exchange shows someone asking a Palestinian person whether they speak multiple languages.
