We were cutting a cake at my work place to celebrate a colleague's birthday.
The cake pieces were being distributed.
I was wanting to tell them that I wanted the smallest piece
Something went wrong then - I had the thought process happening in Telugu in my mind and I was speaking in English and ended up telling them.... 'I want the chinnest piece from the lot'.
{chinna[Telugu]/chinnadhu[Tamil] = small}
I am the laughter stock at work now - people around me are telling the others - 'hey.. she is the chinnest girl, right?' & guffawing at their own jokes, as am writing this.
Hmph!! :-|
