Right then, allow me to explain to that last. A faux pas is defined by Dictionary.com as a slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct. The best way to visualize this is those comedy movies when there's a group of people joking about themselves, then a newbie in the group makes a rather daring joke in that area, and he/she actually offends someone, and the awkward silence that follows. By making that offensive joke, that person has committed a faux pas.
Unfortunately, the real meaning of faux pas makes no sense in this context.
