My worst one that isn't obscene was the fault of the people who subtitle
Abarembou Shougun.   He would always say seibai to his ninjatachi, errm,
ninjae, errm, ninja and ninjette----errm, ninja and kunoichi.  (Kunoichi
is one term for a female ninja.)

The subtitle always said "Punish them."   So, thinking I was telling a
friend that I'd been punished, I wound up telling him I'd frequently
been executed as a child.  I think he laughed for over a minute. 


Yes, this should go to Lingo if we're going to keep it up.
