  Words in other languages which have different meanings to when we say them

  by The Nothing Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anybody know of any words, which are spelt and pronounced the same, which are used in other languages but which mean completely different things?

  as an example (which doesn't work i know) love in english means affection, but love in say, spanish, means hate?

  dumb example i know, but do you catch my drift?

  This might not be what you are looking for exactly , because allegedly, it's still the same 'language',.... but,

  Online Etymology Dictionary -

  ''FANNY''

  "buttocks," 1920, Amer.Eng., from earlier British meaning "vulva" (1879), perhaps from the name of John Cleland's heroine in the scandalous novel "Fanny Hill or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" (1748). The fem. proper name is a dim. of Frances.

  The genital sense is still the primary one outside U.S., but is not current in Amer.Eng., which can have consequences when U.S. TV programs and movies air in Britain.

  July 15 Study Edition

  by StAnn in

  2. bible

  i just read the first article in the july 15 study edition, entitled "the house-to-house ministry--why important now?

  " i thought it was insane overall but i noticed that they seem to be reintroducing the "marking work.

  " hadn't that belief been eliminated?.

  Interested in seeing random papers, forms, and letters from Bethel?

  by daniel-p in

  2. friends

  while sorting through old papers and files in my closet getting ready for a move, i came across a bunch of papers and forms from bethel.

  a lot of them are outlines and directions for the first few days and weeks while at bethel.

  in addition, there are some typed notes from the 2002 annual meeting (the kind you're not supposed to post in the interwebz), a few letters from the gb to bethelites (mostly telling us how to dress and so forth), and some other random junk.

  What a moving book this was for me too.
  I wonder if anybody in Canada has a copy of the TV show ' THE LAST DANCE '?????
  I know that is the name of another book that deals briefly with the murder case in 'WOLVES AMONG SHEEP', but I think it was also the name of the documentary on Canadian TV ???? I would love to see a copy of the show , before it was edited for subsequent re-runs.

  thanks

  Does anyone here (from the US) know if you can still get the Tomb Raider chocolate bars that were made by True confections ? I haven't been able to find them on the net ? Love smarties too. I think there the same here, but in different packaging is all.
