Not in the same way you did (I haven't spent alot of time with others who speak a different language). But I have been in this position in a different way. People within the US speak English but with different dialects, and 'sayings' that are subject to regions and age groups. I said in a group of people I worked with that were all younger than me (I am fifty) that I just felt like "I'd been rode hard and put away wet" The responce was shock, embarassament....and I realized they had no idea what that meant....and had taken it with a sexual connotation.......which I definately didn't mean and would never have said such words in that way. The saying comes from is my grandparents, who had horses. And if you have horses you understand what I said, and why it was a common saying in thier day....and my grandparents had passd it to me. A horse who has been rode hard, gets wet and sweaty and a mess. You don't usually put them in the stall without caring for this messy horse and its wellbeing. But thats where this saying came from. To feel tired and messy and well worked (or rode, if a boss was the reason you felt this way): We said "I feel like i've been rode hard and put away wet" or you could insult someone by telling them they 'look like they were rode hard and put away wet"

I am sure I have most likely messed up with words more then once- I just can't remember when. I hope whoever you said it to had a good sense of humour.

That's funny! I've accidentally said things that could have been phrased differently.
I recall a time when I was in St. Lucia and a couple of Brittish girls walked up to me and asked for a f*g. I was kind of confused.

i'm pretty good with words myself, but i just got a bit lost in a conversation with someone from Australia. i asked where he lived and his only reply was "PERTH!"
how rude is that, or was i just being too nosy?
