The German word "Fahne" can mean:

- flag
- smelly breath (especially of alcohol)

If someone says "Heute haben alle eine Fahne", they probably don't mean everyone's carrying flags - but people stink like drunkheads. (Unless it's the World Cup, then we do both.)

Talking about football, "Der Linienrichter hat eine Fahne" can mean:

- "The assistant referee has a flag"

or:

- "The ref has quite a boozy breath"
