Fullaste flickan i värden

That awkward moment when you're using your second language, and you try to say you're living life to the fullest, but you actually say you're living life to the drunkest, because...bloody Norwegian homonymy!

Yeah. That. >_<

Tis simple, m'dear. Put them together and what you were obviously really trying to say was you're drunk on life :D

At least I have now learnt the correct way to make such Hallmark statements without incriminating myself in future...

And was able to poke fun at the Germanic languages' classic tendency for euphemistic nouns. In Norwegian, the word for drugs and for fabric is the same (lord knows...), so a Don't Use Drugs messages can, to the uninitiated, be interpreted as ...wait, you want me to go naked?!

Wildly popular high school double entendre ;)

Brilliant, gives a whole new slant to Just Say No campaigns LOL

Stoffer er no-no men du må ikke gå rundt uden.

It's the same in danish. Stoffer(drugs ) and stoffer (fabrick )is the same. It's all quiet amusing for those who knows. For those who are so unfortunate that they have to learn danish, it's just platin confusing.
Just like people who get's text messages from me and don't know what autocorrect is, a.i. that pain-in-the-juhuu installation on my phone tha only excist to make my life misserable. Like this posting, it's talking me 3 time the time it usually take me to post, because I have to check everything over for mistakes. And still, there will be a few I haven't caught. Sigh.
