Your say - False friends 2q556j

Birthday surprise (French/English) 2x4e3k

Once during our A Level class (I studied French at the Alliance Française de Bombay), our teacher gave a situation where everyone was supposed to gift something to their friend on her birthday. One of the class mates said Je vais acheter un poison pour mon amie., I'm going to buy poison for my friend, when she meant poisson, fish, instead of poison.
