Just the other night, at my workplace, an even-more-hirsute-than-usual unit of indoPak came up to me and asked me if I was bored.
"Immeasurably" was my reply.
"I'm so surprised", replied she through her indoPak 'stache, "that you would know such a word as 'immeasurably'".
"Why should I not"?, I queried in reply while giving her my best Nazi gaze. "It's one of OUR words--not one of yours".
She had profiled me as "bouncer-therefore-monosyllabic". Pulling the racist card, as it amuses me to do from time to time, I so completely changed the goalposts that she quickly waddled away to be in the company--and imagined safety--of her monobrowed friends leaving behind an olfactory cloud of badly-processed curry.
Profiling-fail comes in many forms indeed.
