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.
