In today’s Ireland we get to meet people from all over the world but while we might say something completely innocent in another language my mean something very different.

In a post earlier someone said Leaba but in Romanian laba means wank

Fart in English - speed in Norwegian

Gary in English - diarrhoea in Japanese

And so many more.

And with GOT around the corner, Sean Bean in Irish means old woman (seanbhean), explains why he is so cranky.

Be careful what you say.

"Fart in English - speed in Norwegian"

Is that 'speed' as in going fast or 'speed' as in the drug?

Someone could potentially snort some fart?

I was told that "mist" in german means "shit"...

Hence, the launch of the popular drink IRISH MIST apparently didn't go down well in that country
