My guy friend and I had a very deep phone call last night that made me like him but I can't because the truth is we can never be morethan friends. After that night we had an activity at school. Me, my bestfriend and him were sitting together. But we can't even look at eachother's eyes. I have to act like hiw treated him before but ut feels really awkward now -_- even my bestfriend noticed it but I made up an excuse like "oh my head aches. I can't talk a lot."

Watching Dallas in the UK growing up with my brother, the word fanny means vagina in the UK
One man said to the other" You just sit yourself down on your fanny"
My brother said "how can you sit on your fanny ? Plus, he's not a girl"
We were very confused

Oh I worked with an older Romanian lady at the university. One morning at break she had picked up a copy of the student newspaper and told me there was going to be drugs at the town south of our city. I asked her what she was talking about and she pointed at the article, and I told her "No they are going to build a DRAG racing track down there." It was something every day with about a third of the workers being from other countries.

The most infamous one with Dutch is "I fuck dogs" because fokken in Dutch means to breed animals.
Happens all the time. Either I'm the translator or the one that's deaf to the situation. 😏
