I always tell my students to try to never bluff. It is usually not a good idea to pretend you heard what was said to you. I have had too many bad and awkward experiences due to my bluffing. I'll share one embarrassing experience:
Stranger at a party: "I would uhhjs js lksjhhsgg your fohjyd. Would you mind?"
Me: "Sure. Yeah, whatever."
Suddenly, he stooped down and started to take off my shoes. Alarmed, I asked him what he was doing.
Smiling up at me, he responded, "You said that you would not mind it if I rub your feet."
Yikes! Awkward!
I excused myself, quietly got up, put my shoes back on, and ran away as far as I could.
Oops.
