"Your neighbour has an enormous cat in his garden," says boyfriend T to me yesterday morning, while peering out of the window of my study.
Getting up from my desk, I wander over to the window and put my hand on his shoulder, and look down at into my neighbour's garden.
"Yeah I suppose it is quite large," I reply. "Actually, I think he's got a couple of pussies like that :-)".
"What did you say?" says boyfriend T sounding quite startled. "Did you say 'pussy'?? That's a woman's vagina isn't it???"
"Yeah, but it also means cat."
"REALLY?"
"Yes, honestly!" I reply. "I think that 'cat' was probably the original meaning, but then the slang meaning became, well, a woman's furry bits :-)."
"And is it OK to say that in front of a woman?"
"Yes of course."
"So I can say 'come here pussy' ..."
"Yes, if there's a cat in the room."
"... and then, 'open your legs pussy'!"
"But why would you want to get a cat to open it's legs?" I say, giggling slightly.
"So I can stroke it's tummy of course :-)."
"Hmmm, well I suppose so. But women know the slang too, so I wouldn't push it too far!"

Your guy sounds totally clueless. Tell him to read more or something.
Corny!
It's so easy to get things wrong when speaking a foreign language. I have made some terrible gaffes in French; but I find that people usually take it in good part and are amused rather than offended.
Sadly my little pussy died last week after 16 years, and only 4 months after the other one.

Hey GB, I really found this funny!
Hahahaha...cute!!! My boyfriend himself is so clueless at times, it's hard to believe he's 23! :p
