This thread reminds me of the time I was making pico de gallo, and my spanish speaking dad asked me if I knew what "pico de gallo" means. He then went on to say, very straightforwardly, something like "the tip of the cock." It took me saying "what?????", and some very awkward moments, before I figured out he was talking about the crest of a rooster.
