Post photos of funny misunderstandings of foreign languages. I'll start:

People in Denmark seem to be kind of strange cause there are constant "fartcontrols" on the motorways!

I also found this to proof my assumption of the Danish fellows!

And by the way this thread is of course inspired by this photo:

^^ ...in my face! :D

Really, abcdefz, that site is great. I'm just sitting in my office waiting for my dear husband to finish his work and being completely bored. So this site made my day. I can't stop laughing (my stomach really aches now). I think I'll have to go to the "salon de poo" once and ask walter how he is doing :D(y)

It's a fun site. It's been around for a while, so it's kind of taken for granted, so it's cool to have a reason to give it props.

Cheers! (y)

They have telly ads for that over here. The first time I saw it I also thought 'Eww, Lol', but people here just see the word face and assume it's ok.
I'd love to tell them what they're really smearing on their faces.

I always thought about the how got the idea for that name. They probably mentioned about a hundred names before and the customers (a group of women from the marketing) were like "ah I don't know, make it sound more fresh and a little more sexy!" And the advertising-agency guys were pissed off so they joked around and mentioned "Daliy facials" to those marketing-women from the customers. And they were like "Oh, yeah, that sounds nice!". And the guys from the agency thought "Ha, revenge!, We're never going to tell ya what a facial ist, bitches :p". It must have been something like that, believe me... :D

I'm pretty sure that "facials" as a cosmetics term has been around for ages, and the porn term is derived from that.

Hockey games are totally different once you learn what a "face off" is.

Hey, I might have to show you the second meaning of "german" sometime ;). Or does this come from the cosmetics industrie as well and means something like "natural and hairy but ugly"?

I'm part German and not all that hairy.

Some, yeah. But at least not the walking bear rug my oldest brother is.

Gross.

Guess what, I'm not only part German and
I'm only hairy on my head :D

To come back to the original meaning of this thread:
This is a funny book calle "Der Butt" from a very well
known german writer (who has been critisized lately
a lot - but not for this book)...

Exactly...

You can go into a day spa/salon and ask for a facial and the person behind the counter won't dissolve into a fit of giggles. You probably still snort with laughter whenever you see the number 69. geez.
