I’ve just realised I told a waiter I was horny.

I’ve been trying to learn Spanish for a few months now. I went to Spain over Christmas and was trying to use my Spanish as much as possible.

I’ve just realised that instead of telling him
I was hot (ie temperature wise due to the weather) I have told him I was horny/wanted sex.

Bless him he kept a straight face but it’s a hotel I go to regularly and I will no doubt have to see him
next time I travel.

I am too ashamed to share this in real life so I need to vent here. I’m cringing inside out nearly!

Quite a commen problem. Also asking for a kilo of dick instead of chicken and a glass of blood instead of sangria

He may have his number written out for your next visit!!

Bwahahaha

I wouldn't worry - you'll have made his day. he will also have told every other waiter in the place his funny story

I always found that they really appreciate it when you make the effort, even if it is wrong.
I asked for dick and told them I was horny numerous times before anyone corrected me during my first YEAR in Spain. Mortifying. But good on you.

I told my tutor (learning sign language) that he was wearing a gay black, while trying to describe his clothes. I was trying to describe his black jumper. This was in front of the class and I’m still blushing 20yrs later.

In the same vein I was running this morning but stopped to do up a lace. A man opened his front door next to where I was ducked down so he couldn’t see me. His dog shot out the house going dotty because the dog knew I was there.
The man was shouting ‘ Come here, come here!’ Then he shouted’ biscuit’.
At that point I stood up, which was surprising in itself and replied ‘ I always come for a biscuit.’ We both looked startled and blushed. I ran off feeling very foolish.

I told my hairdresser once that I'd like "just a bit of semen" (meant to say serum) on my hair when she asked if I'd like any product on it. I wanted to sink through the floor!

Oops,

This just made me do an actual lol though

I once went to a hardware shop and asked where they kept the Durex took me a moment to work out why they were sniggering.

Panticles that deserves a thread of its own we always shout biscuit at our dog to get him to come back as well.

A Brazilian acquaintance, who is an EFL teacher and teacher trainer, told me that she congratulated her students by fisting them.

I told her that the phrase is “fist-bumping”.

@Panticles thank you for a genuine lol 😂

I’m so pleased I’m not the only one who has made a fool out of herself with language! I tried so hard as well! 😂

@Panticles that’s hilarious.

@Hawkin - this was over Christmas time but I’ve just realised my mistake.

@Hawkin cringe. Head tilty much?

I'd been asking for a rum and cocaine for 10 whole years before anyone told me.

@Panticles I’m going to be sniggering about that for a couple of days.

I was buying two game boys for my lads, many years ago when they were newly out. I asked the young lad in ToysRus if he had any playboys. He just stood looking at me. I I couldn’t even apologise because I just 😳

I always come for a biscuit

That's made my day thanks

What's horny in Spanish? Asking for a friend.

@panticles 😆😆😆 I love this, thank you it's my first laugh in ages

@SoldiersinPetticoats I said ‘yo soy calor’ I think this has several meanings!

A few months ago I was in the coffee shop and asked the server for a Costa. They looked bemused and asked what I wanted. I repeated a Costa as if they were a bit hard of hearing. Again, but what do you want? Confusion. Then the penny dropped...

I did have a lot on my mind to be fair.

Not fluent so correct me if I'm wrong but I believe caliente is more suggestive of horny than calor. It's more like you said "my name is hot" haha
