So I'm dropping the kids off at the pool the other night and the wife says "Oh, that movie's on..." and I'm all "What movie?" and she comes at me with this zinger:
"It's that 'Texas Electronic Saw Killer'" movie.
I had to sit on the toilet for a whole other hour just so I wouldn't sh*t myself laughing. |

That's pretty good. I dated a girl briefly who told me her favourite movie was "Vampires with Interviews." |

Before my wife and I got married, we went to Canada and were about to go for a swim when she tole me that she could only swim "DOGGIE STYLE!"
I still laugh everytime I think of it. |

I was told by a Korean teacher ( a metal head) that George Thorogood's song" Bad to the bone" was somehow translated as "I've got bad bones" |

"The Grapes of Wrath," according to one of the Korean teachers, is "Rage of Grapes." |

I kept joking about calling the 'pad' a diaper...My girlfriend heard it and thought that we used it... another day she said 'I've got to go to GS 25 to buy myself a diaper' ...I laughed hard... |

I like "Vampires with Interviews". It's like "Ooooh, gross! That vampire has interviews all over his lips and NO WAY I'm kissing him!" |

Not a mistranslation but a misunderstanding: One of my students had to write about his weekend and he wrote that he watched a movie called, "Bruce All My Tea." |
