Learning a new language has many benefits other than just picking up new and colorful curses. New languages also give you a fresh perspective on other languages. For example, this sign in Germany would appear perfectly harmless to locals but funny to speakers of Slovene, who would recognize “kurc” as a variant of the much-beloved curse kurac. (cock)

In fact, the K-word appears in Slovenia’s greatest (and most baffling) curse: Kurc te gleda (lit. “A cock is watching you.”)

The slogan at the bottom is also a nice little kicker. Translated, it reads: “T. Cock offers you effort and safety.”

(Thanks Dietmar!)
