Guess What????
By putting in some of the Spanish keywords I picked from that alternative dictionary into our filtering device, 24 PAGES (each page contains 30 trys) of porn was blocked today, 8 students were banned from using the school computers, 8 parents were called, and 2 teachers received reprimands for leaving their class in the computer lab without supervision.
While I am glad that the filtering is doing its job, I am sad that there were this many instances as well as the instructors receiving reprimands.....

I've found several forms...Merde is what I "learned" in school. I found it in that Alternative Dictionary link too...looked it up to make sure I was still remembering correctly.

Eat shit is actually "Mange de la merde".

One thing you have to watch out for--what's dirty in one language might be ok in another.
The only example I'm aware of this involves Chinese and thus the confusion will only happen in speech. I know very little in the way of other languages, though.
My wife's native tongue is Chinese, she's not used to American newspapers. One day I was telling her where to find something and she couldn't understand where to find the cunt part of the paper. The Chinese don't label things with letters like we do, it didn't occur to her that section B might be a piece of the paper so she translated it. (She knew I knew the translation and it's not unusual for me to use what little Chinese I know mixed in with English when talking to her.)

Is it really that surprising, though? When one is of age, sex and sexuality is/can be a very powerful force. It may be inappropriate to the function of the school to be certain, but as you can see, you can't stop the forces of nature, only divert it somewhat. Other students will possibly find ways to work around your blocks, unfortunately. Not meaning to diminish what you've accomplished already, though...it's just interesting to read how surprised we all can become when human beings are essentially just doing the most human thing on the planet.

Slang within the same languages can be quite different. The Equadoran friend I mentioned in the previous post married a guy from the Dominican Republic. Soon after they were married he was using a word that where he is from is considered something like "little girl", but where she was from it had less than flattering conotations. Much confusion and later hilarity insued.

Yeah, you can get a lot of laughs from a mixed-language relationship.
I think our best is the case of the chicken candy.
We had just moved. She was unpacking a box of food. She found this jar. It had a picture of a chicken on it and contained little wrapped blocks. She has enough curiosity for a dozen cats, she tried one. Thus was her introduction to bullion cubes.
