Bad Gaelic Tattoo translations

[Benning Boy]

In the show "Big Bang Theory" Sheldon has occasion to see Penny's tattoo and asks her,
"Why do you have the Chinese character for "soup" on your hip?"

I once knew a beautiful tall blond goddess who decided she wanted a Chinese charter tattooed on her shoulder. The one she chose has a primary meaning of sperm. She thought it meant something entirely different.

Careful what you chose if it's not in you native language. I can deal with Chinese, and know how to use a Chinese dictionary, but even so, I don't think I'd want a tattoo in that language -- and certainly not in Gaelic. I have enough of a time trying to explain the US Army patch tattooed on my right shoulder.
