This reminds me what happended two weeks ago again in the Netherlands.

Teams play.
During the play of the 10th board declarer, who is german, played a card
from dummy by naming "karo". Up to that moment not any german word had been
used, because declarer is living in the Netherlands for a long time.
The player to dummy's left understood "klaveren", that sounds more or less
as club in dutch.
As there was only one club card in dummy, the player to dummy's left played
the club Queen.
After that he looked at the table and saw that a diamond card had been moved
forward.
He asked what is goinig on and miss Understanding had made here appearance.
The director was summoned and decided that the club Queen was a PC.
