What have you accidently done, due to language misunderstandings.
Haha, just like Basil Fawlty :D
Minimal pairs in French get me like that some times, like I've probably asked for poison rather than fish a couple of times before, and once made an awful faux pas getting "cou" and "cul", neck and backside, mixed up (the L in "cul" is silent so they're just a slight vowel shift apart)
The one like this that's always waxed about here is that the polish verb for "to look for" is identical to a considerably more unpleasant verb in czech.. poor Poles must innocently make that one a lot.

When Francois Hollande appointed Jean-Marc Ayrault prime minister of France last Tuesday, news of the new PM's name rippled through the Arabic-speaking world.
:
The pronunciation of the prime minister's name, it turns out, "refers to the male sexual organ in several Arabic dialects."
From
Jean-Marc Ayrault's Name In Arabic Creates Awkward Situation
One has to wonder why this is such a big deal, when there are so many called Dick and Willy, in the English speaking world. 😉

Reply to this what is funny about Holland is that we used to call Sarkozy and Merkel Merkozy. We now call Holland and Merkel, MERDE which mean shit in french.
Reply to this The US tourists with their fanny packs amuse me, especially when they look at you in horror when you ask if they have their thongs (flip flops) on and are ready to go and watch a football match. Still giggle everytime I hear someone say they want to come to Australia and come to the race track and root for my horse......I think they may get arrested if they did that on course.
Reply to this LOL My daughter gets mad at me for calling flip flops thongs. But that is what I grew up calling them.
