I Don’t Trust Myself To Write A Safe-For-Work Title

I’m originally from Sweden, and as such, Swedish is my native language. When I am twenty-four, I need a change, so I get a job in UK and move to a small town. I am working mainly with Swedish customers, and I am very insecure about my English abilities. I have a tendency to get my languages mixed up.

I am on a call and I suddenly need to clear my throat while speaking, so I do.

Caller: “Are you okay?”

Me: “Yes, I’m sorry. I just got a cock in my throat.”

The Swedish expression is that you get a rooster in your throat, but I mixed the words up. The customer started laughing, I blushed, and my coworker next to me had to go offline because he was almost on the floor from laughing so hard.
