Today, I’m working in Germany. I told my German colleagues that the most beautiful ballet that I attended in my life was The Swan Lake, "der Schwanzsee". Except that swan in German is "Schwan" and not "Schwanz". For them, I’m now a big fan of the Penis Lake. FML

Performing this weekend only, the Moscow Genitalia Ballet invites you to "Penis Lake" on Saturday, and "The Nutcracker" on Sunday.

As an native german speaker I laughed very hard at this. FYL for that innocent but hilarious mistake.

This is why other languages are hard. Think VERY carefully about word choices before speaking. I have made this same mistake several times with some of my non native languages.

In Kick-Ass 2, when Jim Carrey yells "SCHWANZ!" his dog bites the bad guys' aforementioned appendage.

German is my native language, so to avoid further misconceptions: "Schwanz" actually means "tail" like the tail of a cat or dog or other animal. But it is casually used as a slang word for penis, like you would use cock which is originally a male chicken.
