(I flipped out / freak out at the Beyoncé concert!) If you happen to hear some super exciting news, you can substitute the same overused responses such as “Qué interesante” or “Qué locura” for “!Qué flipe!”. Of course, if you’re talking about some crazy concert you could also use flipar. In this case, you might want to begin by using the popular funny Spanish phrase, “vas a flipar” which literally translates to “you’re going to flip/freak” in English. So let’s say you have a really crazy/juicy story or piece of gossip to tell your friends that you know is going to blow their minds. (How was the concert?… It was awesome, dude)

Que tal el concierto?… Fue la leche, tío.

(I always have homework in that class, it sucks)

Siempre tengo deberes en esa asignatura, es la leche.

(That movie is awesome, That movie sucks)

So in the end, it really just depends on your tone of voice or the subject you’re talking about. For example, when you say something is “sick” or “gnarly”, you are either saying it’s awesome or just plain disgusting. That may seem confusing at first, but there are actually similar expressions in English. There is already a way to swear in spanish that involves taking a shit in some milk, but in this funny Spanish phrase, milk can be a positive thing! To say that something es la leche could mean two different things: either it’s really good or really bad. It seems like the Spaniards feel pretty passionate about their milk. I don’t think English speakers have developed the necessary throat muscles to pronounce either of these words correctly, although I think I came close once when I almost choked on a cashew.To check out all the amazing ways that you can learn Spanish during your time in Madrid, make sure to read our comprehensive guide on learning Spanish in Madrid! I just thought it was funny that one letter made the difference for two words that seemed to have nothing to do with each other. I lived in the Netherlands for a few months and the only words I remember (besides the numbers 1 through 5 and thank you) are Slagboom (toll gate) and Slagroom (whipped cream). As guttural as German sounds, it has nothing on Dutch, which some Germans say is not actually a language but a throat disease.The German word for exit is Ausfahrt, which is funny for obvious reasons.

Nothing says luxury like a name that sounds like it’s the skin disease capital of the world. The economy model was called the Trabant, which doesn’t sound that funny but the upscale model was called the Wartburg. In the old East Germany they made two models of cars.And it’s just funny because, as my daughter says, “it’s exactly how you would imagine the Germans would say rainbow.” The word they use to describe one of nature’s prettiest sights sounds like someone clearing their throat. Regenbogen is the German word for rainbow.The State Department spokesman released a statement calling the launch “a troubling and provocative escalation that the United States takes seriously.” Or at least we would take seriously if the missiles weren’t called No-dong. Just a few days ago those crazy North Koreans launched a couple of missiles into the waters off the Korean peninsula. Everybody admits that the names of the Korean missiles are hysterical.It’s just that some foreign words are funny. Of course this doesn’t mean that English is a superior language and it doesn’t reflect negatively on the speakers of other languages (no matter how silly their little languages may sound). If you are a native English speaker like myself you will notice that there are some words in other languages that just sound funny.
