Penelope Cruz Asks For A Blowjob On “The Tonight Show”
5 February 2009, 10:39 AM. By Alex Alvarez
When asked by “The Tonight Show” host Jay Leno whether or not she’s made any embarrassing mistakes while learning English, Penelope Cruz (seen here holding a giant, mutant penis) rambled incoherently before saying, at a hair salon, she once “mistakenly” asked for a blowjob instead of a blow dry.
We know plenty of people - English-speakers and otherwise - who have made this very same mistake. We’ll chalk it up to the fact ‘blowjob” is a bit of a misnomer, much to the chagrin and embarrassment of many a teenage girl.
Watch the footage for yourself and wonder if late-night talk show questions could be any more obviously planned out way in advance:
Now, tell us: Have you made any embarrassing translation or pronunciation mistakes? We had a classmate in fifth grade who had recently moved to Miami from DF and was constantly going on about visiting “the bitch.” Bring sunscreen, because that bitch will burn you.

I once tried to play a really lewd prank on a friend while abroad in Chile. We were at a club and she needed a straw for her drink (probably a piscola), so she asked me how to say straw. I told her it was “verga”, and she didn’t even question it. So she walked up to the crowded bar, and I was waiting in gleeful anticipation for a zany reaction from the bartender, but it was too loud and she ended up only having to point. Alas, my plot was foiled.
Tangentially related: I had an Argentine professor once, while I was taking a course in Salamanca. One day, we went to visit “La Casa de las Conchas.” My professor, being from Argentina, did not want to say the name of the place. So I, being from comemierdaland, kept raising my hand and asking where we were.
He got super flustered, poor guy.
My ex called me frantic one night. Said his brother and his friend went to Yale. I was like “Yale? Wow, really?” I kept saying “Yale?” and he kept saying yes. THen he finally says, “you know with the police and behind the bars.” I said “OHHHH JAIL!” lol

My mom once sent me to the grocery store to buy some ensuren (pronounce it spanish) All i said was WHAT. is that? after about a 1/2 hour and her having to go to the store with me. turns out it was the drink Ensure. Every once I a while I say it at random, and she smacks me.
Also my junior year in high school I had a chinese teacher, that when you askd her what time it was she would say Look at the cock! by the end of the year she caught on and would tell us to sutup.
and i get made fun of all the time, I guess sometimes I have an accent when I speak, supposably I sound hella mexican. and there are a ton of words I cannot pronounce correctly in english and spanish.
In middle school, I shouted to our family, “Abuelita says the chichones are done and to come eat them now before they’re all gone!” It was actually the chicharrones that were done.
She should have just gone to the JD Ordonez School of English.
A friend of mine went to buy a mirror and some other house stuffs on a store. Having no car and carrying a load of crap, she did what she would normally do in Latin America and asked the store clerk if he could call her “a cawb”. Dude call the cops, who were not happy about the misunderstanding. She could have asked for a taxi.
