Sure I did. I’m very serious about my roasts, but it’s all in good humor. (Of course, not everyone sees it that way…)

Opp’s a spelling mistook. I lifted the name from the internet. Should read Merida. If I knew Portuguese I would have spotted this sooner. Will exit text and delete conversation so as not to offend.

I think it is kind of funny, but maybe that is just me.
I learned to curse in Portuguese… thanks!

Merida! All well and good… and perhaps worthy that I responded so the correction is made.
Honest, my mind doesn’t look for that gutter talk… but fluency in two languages… it just IS synonymous for me… so I was suspecting something was amiss.
No offense as we all cannot know all words in other languages, especially.

Very true, one time my dad was speaking at a house church in south Africa, and talking about people wearing khaki pants, and that pronunciation means something slightly offensive in afrikaans, and everyone started snickering. I also know that a certain SUV has a different name in the Americas, cuz it’s Euro/African name is a bad word in Spanish

Yes… In fact, there is a famous story about the older Ford car… The Pinto.
Needless to say, the connotation and connection to word-meaning is completely different in Brasil. Hence, the rebranding costs were tremendous.

Even here in the UK some words have double meanings, acceptable in one district, offensive in another. It’s not until someone objects that we soon learn.

Around here, the person who called the tune will make a single kicking motion with their foot when they want the tune to end. Our band even does that when we want a tune to end early or to remind guest players that the tune is ending.

Exactly… but tell me it isn’t just called “The Ending”.
With other colorful names, there should be something better than that!

It’s called code brown. In the most immature way possible… 
I yell out “Finito Mussolini!!!”
Just kidding.

Since we physically kick when we want a tune to end, maybe you could say “kick it” to end the tune. Or maybe you could call the end “the kick”?
