Re: how do you say that in english?

Really? Children read the dot? Hmmm ... I'm not to sure about that.

But I remember an English girl which couldn't drive on german highways without laughing whenever she saw the sign saying "Ausfahrt", which means "exit" in German. Should we better take them down? Now, do you know how the hungarian word for "vegetables" sound to germans ... ?

Nix für ungut!

Like I sometimes make fun with the word fast food, fast means almost or nearly in German so "fast food" would be like almost or nearly food.

It's even funnier in dutch. Aus = uit, fahrt = vaart, so a literal translation would be "uitvaart", the dutch word for funeral.

It's funny that in Latvian "Vista" means hen or chicken. So much for Microsoft's best operating system...

Microsoft's BEST operating system? You mean 3.1? Ja, weil das Spaß macht! Ich spielte SkiFree, und DOS war... oh yeah... gut times.
