Oops, did i just say that

So it's really easy to slip up in Thai and say something you didn't intend to. What's your best one? If this topic has been done already elsewhere, apologies.

I used to tell people that a lot of dogs testicles (instead of snow of course) fell on Scotland during the winter season. They're laughter was lost on me until i found out why they were laughing. Most people could laugh about it but were too embarrassed to explain my erring ways.

sorry that should be 'their laughter'

That brings a whole new meaning to 'raining cats and dogs!'

No matter how many different ways I try to say 'ride a horse,' it inevitably comes out as dog sh*t

Are you having a go at me sir??? Should I be offended??? Should I run along to Admin and complain???

Well, I am sure that Scottish people likes dogs more than snow... Admin LOVES his dog...

BTW Hee Maa means moneybox, not testicles.... just we're clear on that.
