What are your funniest "lost in translation" moments if you grew up speaking more than one language?

I have two of those, although they were funny only after.

So she told me that her husband suggested sodomy, which actually made me sit there and blink a few times because it just wouldn’t jive with how I knew her. Proceeding in a cautious manner, I asked what she thought about that. Imagine my surprise when she said, “yes, of course, why not”….more blinking from my side. What to say next? So I inquired about what they might have chosen….dog, cow, horse, sheep? Silence from her side until a certain disbelief came through: “What on Earth are you talking about?!” After the misunderstanding was cleared up, we laughed a lot. Rather loudly. It was hilarious.

Second, a bit before that, on a dinner date with a very nice and charming British lady. Over time the conversation turned to basic principles, and I was trying to shape an on-the-fly translation of Kant’s Categorical imperative in my head which slowed my response time. She asked what was the issue, and I said “I’m thinking about Kant”. She blew up right in my face, called me an antisocial troglodyte, proceeded to less polite terms from there. At some point she noticed the stumped look on my face and, to her merit, instead of storming off asked why I was staring at her. I replied that I wouldn’t understand why mentioning Immanuel Kant made her explode like that.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

To have the next part make sense, here’s background information: I’m German. “Sodomie” in German is sex with animals, what’s called bestiality in English. On the other hand, sodomy in English is anal sex. Until then I didn’t know that.

I guess people can imagine what she thought I had said. Clearing this up resulted in almost half an hour of at least one of us bursting out in laughter again.

First, about 15 years ago with a lady friend of mine from the NW USA, smart, funny, polite to a fault. Some months after she married, we spoke on Skype and I asked how she liked married life, including the physical part. She told that it was all very nice, and they were experimenting, great fun.
