SWENGLISH SLIP-UPS 15
Ulla went down to reception to greet the foreign visitors who were on a Company visit.
- Would you like to take your clothes off?
The foreigne visitors were somewhat surprised at the offer, but she continued:
- And would you like to come with me to the whip-room?
Colin’s comment: Then it is true, Swedish sin is everywhere.
(Literal translation of Swedish: ‘ta av kläderna’. Correct English (here) ‘Would you like to take off your coat…’. Swedish: 'VIP rummet - English: The V.I.P room. The Swedish way sounds like the English 'whip').
