I’ll go first—when my mom was in 8th grade, she had a Spanish class with a girl named Jenny (I changed her name because a) I can't remember it, and b) why would I want to embarrass her?). Anyway, something embarrassing happened to Jenny, and in the heat of the moment, she blurted out, 'Estoy embarazada' (which means 'I'm pregnant').

In the early 1960s, President John F Kennedy went to West Berlin and said,"Ich bin ein Berliner." A 'Berliner' is apparently a doughnut. He should have said,"Berlinerisch" . This was told to me in the 1970s by a German friend in Toronto. He said the Berliners knew what JFK meant, so he wasn't corrected.

Ok in my language, Portuguese, we have two different verbs for"to live" one is"vivir" just like in Spanish. But we also have"morar" which is more like as in"I live in the red house". So I was flirting over text with this girl in Spanish I asked her how long she had lived in my city, except I wrote"mora" for"to live" and my phone auto-corrected that to"muere".
