Ohhhh...awkward! Ah, these "false friends" are really common.
A friend of mine recalls getting some very strange looks after running to catch a train in Germany. As she arrived at the platform 10 seconds too late, she exclaimed loudly, "Just missed!" The problem is that 'Mist' is German for manure 😅 Bystanders might have thought she was disparaging the smell of the train station, haha.
