Linguists have the best pick-up lines -- aside from the overused "cunning linguist" one, there are all sorts of double-entendres on "tongue" waiting to be had. The only catch is they make maximal sense when the target doesn't speak the same language.

E.g., "Trust me: as a linguist, I'm skilled at mastering other people's tongues."
