Also in German, this means “awesome” i.e. Das ist so
hammer! (That is so awesome!)
MIST
Yet again in German, this means “manure”.
OHIO
If you say this to a Japanese person they will
understand “good morning”

In French this means “fart”. So when you go to
Paris, be careful when talking about your pets.
BARF
In Hindi, Urdu, and Farsi, this means “snow”
EAGLE
If you say “eagle” in German, it sounds like the word for
“hedgehog”.

In Polish, Czech and some other Slavic languages
this can actually mean “yes”.

It actually means “fun” in Dutch. So “we hebben lol”
translates to “we are having fun”.
