France
Preservative. Avoid asking about preservatives in France; you’ll probably be met with strange looks. It
means ‘condom’ in France.
Norway
Pick If you’re visiting Norway, don’t use the word ‘pick’. Your Norwegian colleague is unlikely to be
impressed - it means ‘dick’ over there. Fitter. Does your business specialise in fitness products? Be mindful that in Norway, the word
‘fitte’ refers to a woman’s genitals. Turkey
Peach. Going to Turkey? Avoid asking for a peach in the supermarket or anywhere else for that matter. It
means ‘bastard’ in Turkish.
Germany
Gift. ‘Never look a gift horse in the mouth’, we’re told; perhaps more so in Germany where theword means ‘poison’.
Latte. In Germany, latte doesn’t mean the frothy, milky concoction you get from your local Starbucks. It
means ‘erect penis’ in some German quarters.
Korea
Salsa. Out for a Mexican in Korea? It’s probably best not to ask for salsa: it means ‘diarrhoea’ in
Korean.
Sweden
Speed. Try not to talk about speed when in the company of others in Sweden. It means ‘fart’.
Bump. If you’ve had the misfortune of a bump on your car, note that the word ‘bump’ in Swedish means ‘dump’.
Speed bump. Put the above two words together and you have the phrase ‘speed bump, which in Swedish means fart dump.
Kiss. If you ask your Swedish host or hostess for a kiss, they might very well direct you to the toilets. In
Swedish, the word means ‘pee’.
Portugal
Pay Day. If you’re in Portugal, refrain from singing with happiness that it’s ‘pay day’. No one will be impressed. In Portuguese it means “I farted”. Exquisite.
Extend a compliment to your Portuguese host by describing something belonging to them as
‘exquisite’ and you might be met with askance
looks: ‘esquisito’ in Portuguese means ‘weird’.
Hungary
Cookie. If you’re visiting Hungary, whether on business or for pleasure, avoid asking for a cookie. It
means ‘small penis’ in Hungarian.
Japan
Jerry. It’s perhaps a little late for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, but if you’re in Japan, avoid using the word – it means ‘diarrhoea’ over there.
France
Bra. Do you sell luxury underwear? Whilst you and I might initially understand the word to mean a
garment that covers the breasts, if you’re in France
your French colleagues might think you’re selling
arms. Literally.
Italy
Tremendous. Refrain from boasting about the tremendous prices you offer your clients. In this
country, ‘tremendo’ is the word for ‘terrible’.
Netherlands
Bill. Asking for the bill might raise a few guffaws in the Netherlands: ‘bil’ means ‘buttocks’ there.
Lager. It might confuse your Dutch colleagues if you were to ask for a ‘lager’ when having a few
drinks with them after work.
Lager means‘storage’ in Dutch. Spain
Cool. The word cool is too close for comfort to the Spanish word 'culo'; a crude term for 'bum'. Best
avoided. ... http://www.careeraddict.com/16695/avoid-these-20-english-words-when-in-other-countries?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=promoted_post
