Then there was sthe Dutch PM who said to the American people that he fucks horses instead of saying breeds horses.
Luns: I fokk (breed) horses
Kennedy: Pardon?
Luns: Yes, paarden (horses)
This could be said by a us president today not by accident and probably not even make the news.
Nah, people would be ecstatic to hear a US president say that today Edit: except maybe the Poles
“I am a jelly donut.”
— President John F. Kennedy Jr.
Is there a way to say you’re a “Berliner” or can you only say “from Berlin”?
That’s technically what he said, but a donut called krapfen is also very commonly called a Berliner. I am from Berlin (Ich komme aus Berlin) is the more common way to say it.
So he wasn’t really wrong, so much as it was funny colloquially.
What was he trying to say?
