* A British boy studying the language in Germany was riding the school bus home. As it was summer the bus became really hot. In a typically British way of asking for the window to be opened he implied it rather that clearly stated it so asked the boy next to him, 'Bist du heiss?' (Are you hot?). The boy turned and looked with a startled expression. All the other passengers started to giggle.

Unbeknown to the poor expat was that "cin cin" meant 'small penis' in Japanese.

Belfast is pronounced "Belf*szt" in Hungarian. It means 'the inner part of the penis'.
Kaunas is pronounced like "C*nnasse" and it means "B*tch" in french
