Make a fool of yourself



MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF means to make yourself seem stupid by behaving in a silly or embarrassing way.


For example: Yesterday, I made a complete fool of myself. I had to write an email for work in French. (My French sucks!) I didn't know how to write something, so I used google translate. I sent the email off and thought nothing of it. Later that day, my French colleague called me and was rather amused! Because I'd used google translate, I was completely wrong in my email and it had no sense at all. Instead of saying: "I'll be in touch soon" I said, "I will go in welcome to be in contact" ......  I was so embarrassed.
