By far the one that tops my chart is the day someone on teamspeak uttered these words "I'll be right back, I have to go suck a f*g" ![Shocked](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_shocked.png) ![Lol](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_lol.png)
He left for two minutes and returned to me and my American friends debating what the hell he was talking about LOL. Turns out a f*g is a cigarette and he wanted to go suck one, as in a Cigarette break.

and yet nonconstructive a**holes live in all nations.
Just trying to break the ice of this needless "I must constantly troll these forums all day long" syndrome that has developed over the past year.. And people wonder why only fecal matter posts here now? Any attempt at reasonable conversation regarding the game is no longer possible. Thx, forum mods.

This wasn't in Eve, rather at work. A Spanish speaking coworker who had limited English skills sent an email stating "gays are happy today." I fumbled along asking what he meant by this and it turns out he meant 'guys are happy today." Turns out the pronounciations kinda allow this spelling cofusion, anyhoo... I then I remembered his last name was Parra. Mispronounced it sounds exactly likie the Spanish word for b*tch. ![Lol](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_lol.png) |

its is kinda funny how the same language has so many different meanings for words.. didnt think people called cigs fags anymore though. England has a lot of spelling fails (honor, color) and they also call french fries "chips" and the they call the 2nd floor the 1st floor. their school system has "College" the same as american High school as well. |

I live in Panama, I'm a Venezuelan, we both speak spanish, yet for some strange reason, every time I speak informally Panamanians look at me oddly and are offended/confused/wide eyed. When I speak with other Venezuelans they just reply back normally.
There's nothing wrong with the Panamanians or the Venezuelans, they just have such wildly differing customs regarding joking and manner of speaking.
Venezuelans use "MARISCO" a lot , without the S (which literally means Homosexual instead of shellfish with the s, but that's another game I'm not going into detail here) and you can use it as a battery name for ANYONE without implying said person is indeed homosexual, just common day addressing between friends, informal tone, yet using the same word in front of a non venezuelan , non central/western venezuelan to be exact is downright insulting >:(
Same with asking for someone to give you a ride home or to an specific address.
Venezuelans ask for the COLA when asking for rides (TAIL literally yet it means to us something diff by the context, either a ride, a long queue line ,a traffic jam, a literal tail , the buttocks and also glue, yeah I know, Venezuelans) So if you ask for someone their TAIL it's interpreted as asking them their behinds which can be implied as you asking them for anal sex here in Panama.
Also when you invite people over to drink (as a Venezuelan) you invite them to "echarse los palos" wich is to throw sticks on you (literally that, don't ask me why, it's just what we use) yet in the context here it sounds like you asking people for their "sticks" if you know what I mean. Meh
To top it off this is also a conservative country so all the Gay Innuendo and asking for Tails makes some of us here look ... well.. you know.
So I just resorted to be silent in front of Panamanians (don't want to re enact a single faux d' pass here again) with the added bonus of looking mysterious, using the traditional Neutral Venezuelan tone without any jargon/slang and I end up sounding like a Documentary guy and people actually look at me in a positive guy as I sound "enlightened" (Venezuelan Neutral is a widely recognized accent in LatinAmerica as serious or scholarly since it's a flat spanish with strong emphasis on sentence structure).
It also helps telling them I'm a Psychologist (instant hit with the girls here).
Thanks goodness there's almost 200k Venezuelan expats in this beautiful 3.5 Million people country so sometimes I just enjoy chatting with some of my expat brethren in the street, and simply be me and tell them about my experiences with asking for Colas and calling people Marico or asking them to drink some beers.
I don't talk to anyone in EVE anyway, so all my experiences must relate to outside sources.
I have a lot of Panamanian friends and enjoy their cultural quirks too btw, sometimes it's not about a diff language but the same language within a diff country. I guess Brits/Gringos might have some funny stories as well besides the smoking ones ![Big smile](https://forums-archive.eveonline.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_smile-big.png)
Also much love to Panama, a country that embraced me with open arms and gave me a new standard of living, when I had to flee the madness of my own country.

The development of language is area based, not international. Language changes like anything else. English in England is different than English in the United States. That the British spell it honour, colour, whatever you have, is not a misspelling or "Fail", but an adaptation, similar to your use of "Kinda"
Remember, you're language scheme is the product of the British scheme, not the other way around.
Similar to how Spanish is between Spain, and Mexico.
I'm an American, now proceed with this topic while not being blatantly ignorant please....
Subtly ignorant is fine.....
Edit: More precisely, honor and color are adaptations of honour and colour. |

Screw that, if they wanted it spelled that way, they should have invented the dictionary first. But they didn't, we did, so American spelling is the right spelling. |
