I've taken Latin and French, and sometimes I try to say something in Spanish and it comes out in this weird dead-language Sprench poly-mess.
The students are pretty forgiving, though. They DO laugh.
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've learned how to say "I know what you just said" in Spanish pretty well.
Heh. Emmett busted out some French on me last night as I blathered on about something on our commute home: "Fermez la bouche."
Normally he'd get busted for being rude, but I was charmed instead of offended. Besides, he said he just liked the way things sounded in French.

Hee! That's hilarious. I'm trying to pick up dirty words and insults from my Peruvian friend, but I already did my phrase for the week. It's so funny; I walk around the halls muttering "Se lo que dico!" under my breath with different emphasis.
Dork is me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My wedding dress had sleeves. Cap sleeves, but sleeves nonetheless. There was no way I was going to expose my armpit cleavage on that day. (And the second dress I tried on was perfect. go fig.)

If I only had a brain...
Armpit cleavage?
Do I want to know, or will I just start obsessing about yet another body part?

It's generally a sign that you are wearing a not-properly-fitting bra. (Sorry, Sheryl!)

Oh. When I wear a not-properly-fitting bra, I get the dreaded quadriboob.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Quadriboob?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm learning a lot of new technical terms today.

ChiKat, it's the look you get when your bra is too tight and your breast bulges out above the bra. The result under a T-shirt looks like four boobs, one pair above the real pair.
