● 22 Speaking of ... giving, and not exactly appropriate

Yesterday, a man was sitting outside the food store begging. I didn't have any change, but offered him two buns. "Oh, one is enough" he said, "I'm a small eater". "Oh" smiled I, "are you full?"

Only problem is I actually said full.

In swedish that means drunk (or 'filled'). Unrepearable.

I said it very friendly and smiling. But oh so wrong... Tried to quickly repair it by adding "full stomach I mean".

Gah.

He said nothing.

Biked home blushing.
