Once in Rome I was yelling to a street rose seller. When on a square with 3 sellers me and my girlfriend were approached for the fourth time I was so angry I just shouted "....this is the fourth Mal!!!" (Mal = time in the German expression). My girlfriend laughed her a** out.
the funniest part, she had to repeat the phrase several times to me, until I understood why she was laughing
