I'll have to pass that one along!
12. You have a crush on your neighbor's goat.
On a related topic, I picked up some dari (One of the major languages) when I was there. Probably with a horrible accent, but I could make myself understood to a certain degree. As usual, it was the dirty words that was first learnt. Most of my teachers were constructionworkers, so what else was to be expected?
Of course, some misunderstandings about the meaning of some words occurs when the afghans told me what the words mean when translated to english.
In 2005, I was on a short visit to Meymaneh in the north-west. On a walk in the city, a young boy on a donkey drawn cart took a liking to us foreign weirdos, and as usual with the people there, enjoyed having his picture taken. So this grinning boy followed us around on his empty cart and I was doing my best to chat with him. Wanting to be friendly, hearts and minds, and all that... ...I wanted to compliment him with his good donkey. Had to say something nice, but basic.
Found this out a little later:
What I actually said to him was that I thought his donkey was very attractive...
