Five on Friday: Lost in Translation

We just returned from a lovely vacation in the Dominican Republic where I had the chance to dust off my rusty grasp on the Spanish language. I am aware that sometimes I said things like, "It seems like construction new buildings" and my gracious driver answered me without snickering.

Likewise, I never snickered at any of the native Spanish speakers who spoke English to us.  (Okay fine I laughed a little at the show host who said, "What the help?" instead of "What the hell" but that's because it was funny.)

However, I got a real kick out of the signs with funny translations. Maybe you will, too . . . enjoy:

1.
Pasa means raisin.
It also is a conjugated form of the verb "pasar," which can sometimes mean "happen" 

2.
Nobody wants a bad vacarions.


3.
I can't even try to explain this one.


4. 
Or this one either, honestly.


5. 
But I do know that if you need an Emergency Bottom,
my husband will be happy to oblige.
