During the Cold War, I was an interpreter in the Air Force.  We were testing a computer that purportedly could translate Russian into English, and visa versa.  We began by uttering this English phrase. “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”   The Russian translation came out, “Vodka horosho, no myaca slabie.”  Or in English, “The alcohol is good , but the meat is poor.”

In Turkey(ish), the word for bastard is peach.  So I go to the produce market and ask for a dozen peaches................. and that's when the fight started.  

The (nasty) word for penis is sick.  So I'm at a mixed (US/Turk) party and note I am sick with a cold, and all the Turk women raise their eyebrows and ask why I am talking about my talywhacker in polite company.
