You what?

Today, I'm 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

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 **********. 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.

Haha I miss growing up in Minnesota, even the crazy weather! You need more than just a jacket to survive there though.

jacket, in spanish, is pronounced close to jacketa (Chaqueta, I think) you are an idiot.

Hahaha... I have to tell my Spanish class about this. hehehe... Teachers really should place strong emphasis on the fact that there are many varieties of Spanish and that what we learn should be used with caution (or we may not be understood) outside of Spain.
