I want to say "I don't %&*! speak Creole" In Creole to people who think I look Haitian and start speaking Creole to me at work. is there a mild Creole cuss word I could use in there that won't offend people too much?
The whole point of cussing is to offend.
In my opinion, you either offend or you don't.
There's no halfway zanmi :)

how do you say do you want to be friends in creole?
What is this about anyway? Are you asking someone to be your friend? I was under the impression that friendship occurs naturally? If you guys click, then you're friends. And if you don't, then "orevwa!". Now, I will shut my mouth :)
Do you want to be friends?
Eske ou vle nou fè zanmi?
Do you want to be friends with me?
Eske ou vle fè zanmi avè m?

Expression "Give me my ears!" means to "shut up" in Creole?
Yes, It's a very nice way of asking someone to quiet down and let you enjoy some peace.
Ban m zòrèy mwen.
Ban m zòrèy mwen non!
Be quiet.
Stop nagging me.
Also,
Ban m repo m.
Ban m repo m non!
Leave me alone.
Stop bugging me.
