It’s kinda funny, I’m Flemish and a lot of French loan words (ambriage, merci, nondedju = nom de dieu to name a few) are mainly used in dialect, and therefore don’t make you sounds sophisticated or worldly at all.

From what I know it's similar in Swiss German (with words like merci and velo (bike)). I don't know about Fleming but Swiss embraces their dialects so it isn't stigmatized either
