Faux pas refers to some sort of social misstep, usually resulting in embarrassment on the part of the perpetrator.
To willingly harbour prejudiced views about certain people is ignorant and small minded, and that's not what is happening in this thread.

Laughter is an instinctive and involuntary human reaction. It is not reasoned, and sometimes may be nonsensical given a situation: people have been known to laugh upon receiving terrible news, for example.

My uncle is a priest and just before his 25th ordination ceremony, all the family were down and his best friends from college/seminary. Loads of his parishioners had gotten him presents, most of them awful like CDs with priests singing, statues of Jesus etc. and we were all having a good aul laugh about the state of them. Then my uncle opened a present containing a multi-coloured clown lying down with a watering-can on his back, truly awful looking. I proceeded to lay into this present, talking about how awful it was, being way harsher than necessary, going on and on loudly , not noticing how quiet the family and friends were being. When I had finished, his best friend from college said. 'I got that for him.' Nearly died of embarrassment, he was sound about it though and thought it was hilarious.

I went into the Warhammer Store and tried to buy a 20-sided die.

I was mortified.

OK - I am definitely in the slow lane here. What is a Warhammer store and what is wrong with a 20 sided die? You mean die as in the singular of dice right?
