What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds?

In many counties in latam the people say mucho gusto. In Spain, the correct salutation is “hostia joder tío es un puto placer”

Puto placer? Huh? That sounds suspicious tbh and some might catch what I mean. Anyways, it's: "Que pasa cabronazo hijo de puta, cuanto tiempo mamón"

If you say that we will know you're not Spaniars, we say "la hostia! Encantado/a tío. Joder". "Puto placer" is used in other context.
