Accidental hilarity

This is a story, not a pic, about something foreign in origin that was pretty funny in the US: when the clothing company (French Connection UK) was doing promo for their yet unopened store in San Francisco, there were billboards around saying nothing except:

FCUK YOU

I'm not sure it helped the store at opening, but lots of folks thought Clear Channel had a bad speller in the billboard dept.

I've got a few, but they're all stories and involve differences between Spanish and Portuguese:

1.) Pinga is a slang expression for cachaça in Brazil, from the verb pingar, which is certainly appropriate for a distilled beverage. In Spanish it can be a slang expression for male genitalia. I had a colleague who visited Brazil and, upon her return was asked by a Cuban-American friend how she liked Brazil. She replied how she loved the pinga, tried several varieties and how her husband, who doesn't usually go for things like that, also took a fancy to the pinga. Needless tosay, her friend was speechless.

2.) Buseta in Spanish means a minibus, while buceta in Portuguese (pronounced the same) is the equivalent of the c word in English to describe female genitalia. A Brazilian friend of ours was in Colombia and saw a headline that said "Buseta Descontrolado Matou Cuatro."

3.) In Valencia, Spain during the festival known as Las Fallas, they serve a sweet made from fried dough balls called porra. In Portuguese that's a slang expression for sperm along the lines of jism. We imagined a street vendor shouting, "Please, come try my porra."

"Nada" is an anagram for "Dana". Coincidence? I think not.
