Language games are typical with friends. I am sure a friend from outside your culture asked how to say, 'thank you', or 'hello', to make headway with your parents, etc.
Possibly when your friend wanted to thank your mother for dinner at home, you told them thank you in Arabic is, 'Takhi' and hello to your father was, 'Zamel'. Your friend believed you and said it. Then, after the short laugh, you paid heavily. Many of us did it.
