Which again can be transferred between languages as well. Some of the English words can have quite an offending meaning in Norwegian, and vice versa.
E.g the perfectly innocent English word "fitter" is plural Norwegian for c*nt. (*=u).
"Fart" is a perfectly innocent and in daily use Norwegian word, and it means "speed" og "velocity".
There are numerous more examples, though I gave here (at least one) of the ruder exaples.
