It's even funnier if your native language derives from latin (see Spanish, French, Italian and so on) : when you are struck by the revelation that "frigorifero" (italian for "freezer") means "what brings the cold" (frigor = cold, fero, -ers = to bring or to carry) instead of "what keeps the food fresh" you just go "ooooh!"
