You know those moments you wish you could ...

magically disappear from the face of the earth?

Last night we were invited to the Met's end of season party so we went and got our weekly dose of posh.... then of course I have to go ahead and be my[WTF]self.

One of my Meastri approaches me and I go "Happy ending Maestro!"

>my brain freezes<
>I register<
>I promptly spit out a desperate "GGGHHOFTHESEASON!"<

I'm counting on that one-in-a-million chance that he was already drunk enough not to notice my existence at all.

Anyone wants to console me with one of their faux-pas stories?

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't have interpreted anything into that if I had heard it. :-)

How about when I was first chatting with my then future host father online before my exchange year and when he asked me whether I was nervous, I said "No, just excited" but since my German was really bad, I just picked the first translation for "excited" listed in the dictionary. Turns out it's the word for sexually excited. Um... yeah... A few weeks after I got there, he tried to explain to me what that meant, and the conversation literally started, "When a man and a woman..."

Thanks crimson, I'm relieved to hear that it might not have been too bad....

That's funny about the excited thing! It gets a lot of english speaking folks when they translate it into Italian too, the closest word is eccitato/a which also means principally aroused.
