Lessons learned

Oh yeah, been in the confusing language word scene!...
Like when I confused in Spanish majones (jeans) with mojones (sh*ts) I got some pretty weird looks. Sheesh, the trouble I got into when I was learning Spanish...don't remind me!

Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching
Ride it like you stole it

...but not all at once.
Good mercy, not all at once.

oh no, not language

then there's "we're happy to meet you" in American sign language...

And here even the Norwegians are starting to have trouble. Kids these days can't say the kj/ky/ki-sound; they say it the same as skj/sj (sh). So now "Takk for kysset" (thanks for the kiss) comes out the same as "Takk for skysset" (thanks for the lift) ... which kinda puts a wet blanket over a budding relationship.

While riding into the wind at 20mph, don't spit if your wife is following close behind you!

Almost happened today along the Ohio River...I caught myself just in time before giving Silver a shower!

no matter what the situation is, don't let the border collie WIN. It's for his own good.

WHy can't the kids pronounce the words they've heard all their lives?

Isn't that kind of strange?

oh, no DON'T get into language!!!

in Italian Tetto is ROOF and TETTA is uh, T I T
and fico is fig and fica is I can't say that word for a girl part, sorry..but
you've all heard it, it's not very nice.
And italians think it is so darn funny when you confuse these things.

Boy, you are not kiddin'!!! My husband and I took an Italian language class in the fall and we were both petrified to speak because every time we did the instructor would chastise us for saying something dirty. Who knew there is only one n's difference between pen and penis and they have and anus?! And we were warned against asking for pizza in Southern Italy unless we'd like to get a beating. (He was from the south and really seemed to take it personally when we mangled the language).
