AIBU to take a vow of silence and never talk again? Why am I such an idiot?!

I had an induction day at my new job a few days ago. We had a buffet in the afternoon and some of my most senior colleagues attended. I do know most of them because I worked for them on temporary basis last summer.
As I was talking to two of them (very senior, both 20+ years in the job but very approachable and always up for a good laugh), another colleague approached. And as she did, she said something in French and the other colleague said "oh, I have no idea what you said there" and I, with my big mouth, went "oh, she's swearing at you in French!" It was supposed to be a joke and they did laugh but the colleague who said it didn't look pleased. She said "blimey, you need to sort this one out!" and pointed at me.
I was, and still am, MORTIFIED! Why am I such an idiot?! My big effin mouth Envy i swear, next time I'm juta going to stand there and nod.
Please tell me I'm not the only one whose mouth always gets her into trouble? Wine

She's the idiot not you. A guy at work ( English , thinks he speaks French but has such a broad accent that even with a small amount of French vocabulary I can't tell wtf he is saying anyway) always orders in French ... non of us speak it really so why bother? He just has to repeat himself ... especially when he orders bier but means cidre ...
