My Sister and her boyfriend who works as a chef came over form London. We were having a "kräftskiva" which is a swedish tradition where you eat loads of crayfish and dink snaps. The mood was good and everyone was having fun. My mother don't know much english so she kept quiet for most of the conversation. It wasn't until after a couple of glasses of wine she started talking. She turns to my sisters boyfriend and says: - I am so glad my daughter have found such a great cock. The time stops. I have never heard my mother say something like that. I can se my sisters boyfriend blushing. My mother looks around and she can se that everyone is looking at her. Then she says: - Did i say something wrong? + Show Spoiler +
No mothers were harmed in this incident. Swedish kock("pronounced http://www.forvo.com/word/kock/ ") means chef in english xD
Before the recent G8 summit in Okinawa, Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori was coached in a bit of English. Upon meeting Clinton, he was to say "How are you?" The response was supposed to be "I'm fine, thank you. And you?" Mori was to answer, "Me too."
When they actually met, Mori made a small slip-up and said, "Who are you?"
Clinton replied, "I'm Hillary's husband." To which Mori replied, "Me too."
And people say Bill was the one sleeping around...:p
My question is what happened next? did you guys tell her what that means in English, or did you just move on and pretend nothing happened? My guess would be the latter.
Good lord, that food critic. Why would that sort of "-ness" ever come to mind?
Pretty cute story, Weson. At least your mother recovered from it and laughed along. I know if I had made that sort of faux pas, I would have been mortified.
Hey its not as bad as in class with the most mother-like teacher one of my friends was sitting with some girls and they gave him a piece of paper and asked him to draw something(Teacher was just having us listen to stories no one wanted to hear... written by us... the ones that didn't want to even say the stories out loud). Anyways, he drew a dick. he finishes drawing it right when my teacher comes over and says "I LOVE NOTES!" My friend replies,"o its not a note, just a picture." She looks at the picture and everyone at the table is laughing. Then when we got back to class(we were in the library because of the heat in our own class room) our teacher said that the girls would get in trouble for giving him the supplies and telling him to draw. They said "WE DIDN'T THINK HE'D DRAW A DICK!" When one of their friends asked why he drew a dick they said "Well I don't know! He's messed up ok!" Then the kid in our class who is an expert on going to the vice principal told my friend that the worst he could end up in with the principal is a few days of "ISS"(stuck in class room) or a few weeks of detention and maybe the removal of a dance or other privilege. Overall, it was hilarious and all the girls thought he was messed up while the guys just shrugged and moved on lol. Funny thing is the girl he was going to give it to is the girl he likes lol...
