I was working as a Medical Interpreter for Spanish speaking patients and was interpreting for a newly pregnant young lady. Her hubbs was there, as was the Nutrition lady who did most of the speaking. I followed along in Spanish and the nutrition lady, who is Philippine and as nice as she can be, thankfully didn't catch my "blooper".

It was a doozy. She was talking about weight gain and in Spanish, weight is measured in KILOS. I am speaking at a fairly decent clip and out of my mouth flies: CULO.

I don't know if you know what that means, but it is used to describe nasty, stinky *****.

I froze. The young lady and her hubby kept their eyes down and I repeated about 2 or 3 times: KILO, we are talking about KILOS.

They never said anything and a few hours later, I ran into Angie( the Nutritionist) in the lunch room and told her. We had a great laugh over it, LOL
