This reminds me of one of my French faux pas.  While
learning the language in Junior High, and on exchange
with a French family one summer ... I was asked if I'd
like seconds after a particularly, but typically
elaborate, French dinner.  To which I replied:

"Non merci, je suis plain."

Which I took to mean "No thanks, I'm full."  What I'd
REALLY said was:

"No thanks, I'm pregnant."
