Funny words First of all I wanna say I don't taunt of the english language or persons. In spanish the word -grosería- means -swearword-. When I read the word -grocery-, I tought it was a place with bad words for sale (I was a child). Six years ago I met a girl in chat, her name Fatima and her nickname was fatty_ojitos. I think she didn't know the meaning of -fatty-. A guy thought a ship has eleven anchors (in spanish -¡Eleven anclas!- =Rise anchors! (like "spanglish")). The plural form of pin in spanish is -pines- pronounced like -penis- in english. So when I heard -Necesito unos pines- =I need some pins, I understood (I need some penis (spanglish too). The french word -culottes- =underwear in spanish sounds like big asses. The english word -trousers- sounds in spanish like -trusa- =underwear. My real name is Pedro, but my friends name me Peter. In english the diminutive of Peter is Pete, but my friends didn't know that and they wrote Pet, so, I've been a pet sometimes haha. I must sleep. I'm going.

First of all, I want to say that I don't intend to make fun of the English language or people.

In Spanish, the word "grosería" means "profanity." When I was a child and I read the word "grocery," I thought it was a place with bad words for sale. Six years ago I met a girl in chat. Her name was Fatima and her nickname was "fatty_ojitos." I think that she didn't know the meaning of "fatty." One guy thought that a ship had eleven anchors, because in Spanish, "eleven anclas" means: "lift anchors." The plural form of "pin" in Spanish is "pines," and it is pronounced like "penis" in English. When I heard "necesito unos pines," or: "I need some pins," I understood it to mean "I need some penis."

The French word "culottes" means "underwear in English," but in Spanish it sounds like "big asses." The English word "trousers" sounds like the Spanish word "trusa," or "underwear" in English.

My real name is Pedro, but my friends call me "Peter." In English, the diminutive of "Peter" is "Pete," but my friends didn't know that, and they would write: "Pet," so I've been a pet sometimes. I must sleep. I'm going.

Eso está muy bien, "Pet!" En los EE.UU., "Peter", también es el argot para "pene". Así que lo siento :)

Funny words

First of all I wanna say I wasn't taught English. In Spanish the word "grosería" means "swearword". When I read the word "grocery", I thought it was a place with bad words for sale. (I was a child.) Six years ago I met a girl in chat. Her name was Fatima and her nickname was fatty_ojitos. I think she didn't know the meaning of "fatty". A guy thought a ship has eleven anchors (in spanish "¡Eleven anclas!" means "Raise anchors!" (like "spanglish")). The plural form of pin in spanish is "pines" pronounced like "penis" in english. So when I heard "Necesito unos pines" like "I need some pins," I thought it meant "I need some penis." (Spanglish again). The French word "culottes" which means "underwear" sounds like "big asses" in Spanish. The English word "trousers" sounds like "trousa" in Spanish, meaning "underwear". My real name is Pedro, but my friends call me Peter. In English the diminutive of Peter is Pete, but my friends didn't know that and they wrote Pet, so I've been a pet sometimes haha. I must sleep.
