You're not bad off! You just have to wait five minutes between answers! I'll go ahead and throw your first one down, but you'll have to wait to post the others five minutes apart!

There are a number of lyric videos for songs of a music artist by the name of Ke$ha. What is one of the more prevalent typos involving a fruit?

Grow a pair (grow a pear)

That's fine, tsukiko, it happens!

Okay guys, I'm headed to bed, but the rules still apply. You can quote to correct or add to each other, and I'll update everything in the morning. What's down now I'll put up. Just try to remember the expiration on correcting and adding is one hour form the answer being posted! I'll update what's already out here, but I haven't missed anyone.

  1. Even in the same language, the same word can have very different meanings. What are five English words used in the United States that mean something completely different in other countries?

That's a good one! Okay, let's see...

barf: means vomit in English, but in Welsh it's just a beard

frown: means a certain facial expression in English, in Welsh it's the colour brown, at least when it undergoes soft mutation (a brown beard seriously translates to barf frown, a brown whereas brown sugar will be siwgr brown instead)

bean: a type of vegetable, but it's a woman in Welsh

bra: a type of female undergarment, but it means good in Swedish

kiss: a show of affection, but in Sweden it stinks as there it means urine

fart: now that stinks in the US, but in Sweden it means speed

slut: a female person with questionable morals, in Sweden merely the end or sold out. So when a swedish costume store wanted to let their customers know that several costumes were already sold entirely, it looked like this:

(honorable mentions: slutspurt is a commonly used term for sale in Sweden, and slutstation a train's final destination. A speed control by the police is a fartkontrol)

gift: you would love to receive a present in the US, but in Germany you're actually getting poison, so be careful

die: the act of losing one's life may sound horrid, but the main reason you encounter this word so often in Germany is because it's the definite article for female nouns

fast: it can mean speedy, but in German it means almost

bald: someone having no hair, or soon in German

hell: it might be a place where we all end up in, but that's because it's one that's brightly illuminated in Germany, or a tender one in Estonia. What were you thinking?

part: if your piece of a whole suddenly quacks, then maybe because in Estonian it means duck

(honorable mention: seaside in Estonian roughly translates to pig's communication, though I think it's not 100% grammatically correct)

brat: it might be an annoying person, or just your brother in Russia. Not that there's always so much difference between the two...

1-Katy Perry sings a song called Last Friday Night (TGIF). What does the initialism stand for?

Thank God It's Friday.

Lee 08-08-2017 03:03 PM

You guys are on fire.

Death by Mirrors 08-08-2017 04:53 PM

I noticed I even forgot two.

fear: a feeling of dread, or a man in Welsh

plant: that thing that tirelessly produces oxygen for your pleasure, or Welsh for children

But.

Time for a new answer.

  1. The phrase 'blood is thicker than water' used to mean the complete opposite of what it does today. What was the original full phrase?

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Meaning if you shed blood in battle together with your comrades, you forge deeper and more intense bonds with each other than mere genetics ever could.
