Not English, but with the Danes we had this happen

We were playing in Denmark, and my guitar playing husband commented, "Heck, there's my pick on the floor." Upon which one Danish gentleman told my husband to quit bragging. Seems "pick" is the Danish slang for a man's equipment.

Now I know why the Dane's that visited took all my pencils with "picking and grinning" etched on them.
