Good day ladies and gentle men:) ,







It's kind of Interesting that this sentence has different meaning In other languages. In Arabic "She/He is Hot" means: someone's always angry. In English means: sexy. :yh_rotfl

"Fu*k" means In Arabic: to open up something or to release.

Both of those meanings are used in English, as well.

Most words have multiple meanings and can be used to "mean" different things depending on the context.

Also, meanings change/evolve over time.

The word 'gay' is an excellent example.

a century ago, a well-dressed man might be called a 'Gay Blade" without insinuating anything about his life-style.

If you used that phrase today, most men, regardless of their life-style, would take offense.

hmmm. "Hot under the collar" means you're angry.

Classic ones :-

Rubber - American = Durex, English = Eraser

Fag - American = Homosexual, English = Cigarette

Nice - Victorian = Pernicity, Modern = Pleasant

Wicked - Old = Evil, New = Good

etc.

Old: Science = Witchcraft/magic New: Science = a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws
