Today, I am studying abroad in Mexico and someone asked me what it's like to be from Minnesota. I responded in Spanish, in front of thirty people, what I thought translated to, "If you get cold, you can just put on a jacket." Apparently, what I thought meant "jacket" actually meant "masturbate". FML

in texas, we got to 105 degrees.
the humidity is so bad, were actually hotter
than the deserts of arizona.
it's summer, and my summer job consists of going outside.
so don't complain.

Jacket ~ Jack it/Masturbate

Actually, you are all missing the FML here. She used the word 'chaqueta' wich correctly means jacket in Spanish but in Mexican slang, 'chaqueta' means to masturbate. So in all fairness your spanish was correct but while in Mexico you may want to stay with 'Chamarra' instead of 'Chaqueta' when referring to your jacket.

Thanks for the warning, dude, I'm currently learning Spanish and didn't realize that (to make matters worse, I live in Texas, so most Spanish speakers here use the Mexican dialect)

I'll have to tell my Spanish teachers about this, cause they've been teaching 'Chaqueta' for a while now.

Well... masturbating does heat things up. So you were right too! No worries.

Folks, pay no attention to this person. They are the person who walks around in four feet of snow in shorts and a t-shirt. In other words, they are the lucky type of minnesotan native
