Today, I was in spanish class, having a debate about the death penalty. When I went to make a point, I meant to say "La pena de muerte", which means "The death penalty". I said, "La pene de muerte". Turns out that means, "The penis of death". FML
I agree, your life sucks (13640) - you totally deserved it (28514)

This would've been a fun class to be in. It's funny when stuff like that happens, like if someone says ano instead año or excitado or something. :)

That is hilarious and awesome! I wish I could have been there! Once, in Japanese, a classmate was trying to describe an elephant as 'big.' He ended up saying there was big rape. This sort of thing also reminds me of German with night vs. naked, lol.
win
and lol @ 11. someone in my spanish class used "embarazada" for "embarassed" once. :P

:) When I was in Spanish class, my teacher was trying to explain to us the importance of using se as in "se vende, se habla." She told us a story of how she was in Mexico and wanted some eggs. She said, "Cuantos huevos tienes?" The man responded, "Tengo dos." It was really funny because she was one of those really strict, proper (kind of holier than thou) people, and you just know that she died of embarrassment.
And #11, that truly would be a pene de muerte.

Hahah, oh jeez. If you didn't already know what that meant after you said it, I can only imagine who brought that to your attention. And how embarrasing that was. XD

hahahahahahahahahahahzahaha! freudian slip! whats on your mind ;)
#23 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:30pm by rachelforgot2
Oh my God. I can't stop laughing at that. Priceless. hahahahaha
#24 - On 03/04/2009 at 6:34pm by musicislife
Shouldn't it be El Pene? I would hate to think the penis is a feminine word. You should be let off the hook.
I have a calculus teacher that every time he tries to say "equation" it comes out "erection" and he never knows why everyone is laughing
Ha that reminds me of this one time, for a spanish project in which we had to design a fake conservation program for an animal species to "expand our vocabulary." My group and I came up with the idea for a "Save the Pókémon" campaign, and made a poster that said "Necesito coger todos!" for "Gotta catchem' all!"
We did the presentation and our teacher and a couple of students looked around awkwardly, before she came over to us and whispered "You guys know 'coger' means uh . . . to *screw* . . . right?"

Coger doesn't mean screw.
Well,at least not where I live.
And yeah Spanish is our first language. Haha
#103 - On 08/07/2009 at 3:12pm by rebel_yell_tiny
haahahaha lmao off at 31... "gotta screw em all!"
but this is more funny than embarrassing. im sure your teacher understood.
also the reason the OP said "la pene" is because they meant to say "la pena" which is feminine, so they didn't replace the la with el.
haha, I think #31 sounds more hilarious than death penis. As a fluent spanish speaker, I think "La pene" would go unnoticed by most. However, Gotta screw them all- Pokemon. Hilarious!!
lol #10, i'm very aware of that fact..that's why i used it as an example. :P
#38 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:41pm by jellybean17
Well I hope that la pene de muerte calls the day after, unlike some penes....

i just wanted to let you know that ive been having one of the worst nights ever and when i read this i laughed soo loud. thank you. <3

Sounds like something I would have done in my Portuguese class
#43 - On 03/04/2009 at 9:41pm by FuzzMonkey09
if a girl named Jean went to mexico would her spanish name be Vaquero?
#44 - On 03/04/2009 at 9:54pm by you_not_me_OWNED
I did something similar once, I mixed up the words hug and pregnant so instead of saying "I want to hug you" I said "I want to impregnate you" lol
haha on a spanish paper (im in spanish 2, im also a freshman) i meant to say excited, as in "emocionado," but i didn't feel like looking up the word so i had the bright idea to use spanglish (excitado)... so i basically wrote "he is sexually aroused when he is in school."
my teacher laughed so hard when we read them aloud in class that i thought she was going to pee her pants.
#47 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:22pm by pelicangirl123
Thats something that would've happened to me. Hahhh(:
#48 - On 03/04/2009 at 10:27pm by AlmostHuman123
I was a witness to this, our female spanish teacher just laughed and didnt bother correcting him......which made it even better
S'okay. In French today I mixed up the words for slaves and levels. As opposed to saying there are many levels in the catholic church, I said there were many slaves in the catholic church. I go to catholic school!
Wear a rubber and you won't have to worry about that...

@12: my best language goof ups are all with Japanese. My favorite would have to be someone saying "let's go eat president bush" instead of "let's go see president bush". That and someone saying he was an airplane instead of sick...
i have another one. someone was saying that her father (as in chichi) has a beard. She ended up saying that her breasts have beards.
OP: omg I laughed so much at that one. FYL.
I don't understand what the problem is here. This is awesome.

You don't really deserve it, but I can't say your life is f*cked...maybe just kind of a bummer.
#59 - On 03/05/2009 at 3:16am by kibblesnbits1053
Oh MY!... the teacher would have laughed so much like i just did... "penis of death"... this is not a FML at all
#60 - On 03/05/2009 at 5:36am by KenMcGormick
Haha, that's like the time my teacher told us that "sobre" meant "about" and venir meant "to come."
It turns out "sobrevenir" means to OVERCOME, but my friend Ria definitely raised her hand and told Mr. K it meant "to be about to come."
#62 - On 03/05/2009 at 8:35am by divinebovine
o that's just funny
hell some guys would like to have that too! :)
#63 - On 03/05/2009 at 10:07am by were_giraffe
Did you ever get the feeling that everyone's taking about you onilne...?
But no, that's hilarious, I'd totally have played it off like that's what you meant to say.
#64 - On 03/05/2009 at 12:16pm by Sure_Thing
hahahahahaha!!!!!! The penis of death! that's the funniest shit ever!! But I feel really bad for you! I would have loved to be the teacher though, that would've been funny. I would have just laughed it off. Because seriously I would'nt have been able to stop laughing. The penis of death... classic.
#65 - On 03/05/2009 at 1:35pm by WATCHxM3xDI3
In a bio class in hs, the 60 year old teacher meant to ask "where all the students are at?" b/c a bunch of them were late for reasons i forget, some sort of club thing or incident. What she actually said translated to "where are all the vaginas at?"
DEATHPENIS!!! GO TO DMC!! GO TO DMC!! GO TO DMC!! GO TO DMC!!
hehehehe. Running joke in an anime I watch.

maybe we SHOULD change the death penalty from whatever it is now to a meeting with the penis of death :)

If I remember Spanish class, it's that no one understands what you're saying except for the teacher. Made me smile though thanks.
#75 - On 03/06/2009 at 4:39pm by SpaceJockey1979

Very picky #76. I'm not even sure of the right accent or which letter it goes over but it is a word if used right. Very funny OP. Thanks for the laugh.
#89 - On 03/31/2009 at 7:28am by Captainshit
