Also, I’m sorry, but the Spanish word for “wrench” is “English key”???
Show threadDaniel BohrerJan 26
@tilton same in French, and German too… ("Schlüssel" vs. "Schraubenschlüssel", not on the picture)
Show threadYsegrimJan 27
@daniel_bohrer @tilton Except that "Engländer" is the German term for an adjustable wrench.

@tilton "Llave" in Spanish means both "key" (i.e. what you use to open a lock) or "spanner" (i.e., a wrench).
"Llave inglesa" is in fact an adjustable spanner.

@tilton In Dutch that's what we call an adjustable wrench, or somtimes a 'baco’ (which is also what we call a rum’n'coke.)

@tilton that also count for Italian with "Chiave Inglese".

Do not worry that happens sometimes, always funny though.

Fun fact*: Scrench is a portmanteau of Scrotum and Wrench.

@fennix @tilton That mental image probably made a bunch of male readers’ nads suddenly scrench after they read that post.

(Autocorrupt wanted to turn “scrench” into “screech”. That also seems apt here.)
