And I'm told that there is a language (one of the
Nordic ones, IIRC) where "kiwi" means "stone". So in
that country they wonder why they should be getting so
excited about something called a "stonefruit". :-)
I had heard something about the meaning of the word "gift", so I
checked in Google Translate. For Swedish "gift" it says:
noun
1. POISON
2. VENOM
3. TOXIN
4. VIRUS
adjective
1. MARRIED
2. WEDDED
