I am kind, brave and deserve love.

This is absolutely my new favorite thread.
For content, not quite ESL but Spanish has one of the best boomerang screwups.
Inevitably when a (english or american)tourist or whatever messes up a word, they will try to laugh it off and say how "embarazada" they are. They then get really confused why this prompts laughter and/or a series of personal questions.
Embarazada = pregnant
In this same vein, there is a bilingual sign where I work that says: Questions? call xxx-xxxx, and on the bottom half: Preguntas? call xxx-xxxx.
It took me second to figure out anyone should have to call corporate because they are pregnant.
