What are some foreign words that mean something funny in your native language? So has it happened to you that a word in a foreign language you study means something funny in your own language???

HURT means wholesale in Polish, so you'll often find it in large letters on stores and notices in Poland. FART means something like good luck or good fortune, so you have the opportunity to see it on various businesses, FART this and FART that, including FART restaurant in Poznan...which also has a puzzling logo: http://bit.ly/c8ITWM

I'm from Russia. My former English teacher once asked me: "Will you close the window please?" I was too unhurried, so he added: "Do it!" The fun is that the phrase "do it" in Russian means "it is draughty here" =)

The Thai words for pumpkin (ฟัก=fak), and chilli (พริก=prik) come to mind. :-D I discovered last year that my surname has a very funny and crass meaning in Slovak... err in most slavic languages, it seems. (It sounds like "píči".) I had to call myself "Pay-a-khay" in Czech Republic to avoid local giggles.
