Since childhood they teach you that "whoever finds a friend, finds a treasure." True, but over the years you realize that, apart from the "friend-treasure" category, there is a very different one: the category of "shit-friend”.
Famous examples are:
- Those who when you are shopping and try on leggins that would take cellulite out of Kate Moss, they tell you that they are “divine” and when you put them at home you realize that you look like a ham with head and arms.
- Those who when you are eating ice cream do not warn you that you have all the dirty mouth of chocolate, and when you look in the mirror you get a crap because you seem to have seen the Joker of Batman.
- Those who never take out their driving license because that way every time they leave they can stick the party of the year and roll it brown in YOUR car (that's me, I'm sorry Sara, Marta and Cristina ... I love you huh!).
But I never expected to find a sub-category of this species along the way: linguistic fucking friends. These "friends" are those words from other languages that resemble one of your mother tongue, either in writing or in pronunciation, and that mean something completely different. What in English is subtly called “false friends”. Bastards
When I arrived in Spain I had my encounters with several friends of shit ... ehm ... false friends, like when one of the first days at work I told my boss that I was very pregnant during a group interview I did. Or when Rober told me that he loves donkeys, because they are so old and have beautiful eyes ... sorry? I eat them with bread and strawberry jam, I am a monster !!!
So that you understand me better I present all the linguistic shit friends that I have met:
Now, the next Italian who tells me that he does not speak Spanish but understands it because the words are the same with the only difference that you have to put an “s” at the end, I hit a slap… no, it does not mean “giant glove ”Means that I am going to break your nose with an open hand. With love huh?
And you? Have you run into linguistic crap friends?
