Lost in translation

We've just had a very funny moment.
Rose had created a username, 'capulloderosa', to use on websites over here. She came to this name by looking up the literal translation in the dictionary of 'rosebud'.
Our friends Steve and Rocio have come over for the weekend and are helping us look for places to live (as they are fluent in Spanish). Rose logged in to her account to look for flats and the pair of them spontaneously cracked up ...they then explained that although capulloderosa IS the literal translation of rosebud, capullo is more commonly used to call someone a bellend ...so her name could be interpreted as 'pink bellend'!!
Hahaha
...needless to say Rose is sticking with the username :D
