Patrone -- Patron (false friend)

There a quite a few examples of 'false friends', i.e. you think you know the translation or what it roughly means, but you couldn't be more wrong. I saw the word 'patron' in a restaurant today ('Would patrons please leave quietly after 11am'}, and for the German speaker, this is a definite 'false friend'- no cartridges in this restaurant :)

Patron (English)   = Stammkunde (German)

Patrone (German) = Cartridge (English)
