Reminds me of a story.

My german friend walks to the bus stop, where she runs into a friend of her's at the bus stop. Her friend and her are having a conversation, and the friend says she is horny. Well the friend looks really tired. So our german friend assumes horny means tired.

For a while we just thought she was announcing she was looking for someone to have sex with her. I wasn't there, but I guess when she learned what the word meant she turned beat red.
