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).
