It's a melange (dunno the French for that ) - of English and French.

Like a phrase book, each of his "lessons" covered a particular situation:

A man is accused of driving his car "avec toute la finesse d'un Rangers fan"
A door-to-door seller assures his customers "je ne suis pas un nutter religieux"

Another useful phrase is 'OK, OK je ne suis pas deaf .'
