Well, I just told a Puerto Rican friend of mine "feliz cumpleanos" without the ~ over the n...apparently, it means "happy new anus day"...
anyone else?

No, I really did say that to a Puerto Rican friend of mine by mistake...

I asked a swede where my bag was (in my native tongue, which I wont reveal because I'm so fucking embarrassed of living here and I'm leaving this shithole of a country when my education allows me to)
apparently I asked him where my balls/whore was.... And I kinda asked it out loud.... In a cafe... Pretty crowded one

Aw, could you please tell me what it was you said.
I'm Swedish myself so I guess it would be funny to hear.

I ran into the cafe and screamed out loud "min taske! Jeg har glemt min taske!" (I really hate living in Denmark... So grey and disgusting, everyone is so damn retarded and everyone thinks they're fucking saints)

"task" basicly means Dong / synonym for Penis
So what you were basicly running in and screamed was:
"
My penis! I have dropped my penis!"
I see now how funny this would be if shouted out in public

I've never met anybody foreign because I have no home country. Therefore, they cannot be foreign to me, because I come from nowhere from them to be foreign from.
You could say that everybody is foreign to me, but this is basically the same as saying no one is.
I don't know if that made sense.

A friend of mine told a story about how at a World War Two reenactment, a friend of his stormed into a German bunker and yelled, "Halt, oder ich sheisse!", at which the Germans cracked up laughing. He thought that he was saying, "Halt, or I shoot!", but instead of "shiesse", to shoot, he said "sheisse", to shit. Needless to say, they weren't very scared by his threats of defecation.

well, I was in Germany and I was talking to a friend and said
"simon ist so geil!" (I wanted to say that he was cool and a good friend)
but that means, "simon is so hot!!!(sexy....horny)"
she thought I was gay
