TITLE: TIFU trying to get the translation of "corny" into Spanish. (Back in High School 10 Years Ago)
POST: So in my Spanish 2 class back in high school (sophomore year), I went up to the teacher and asked her with a smile, "¿como se dice 'corny' en español?"  Back then and even now, I tend to mumble when I speak.

Anyway, she gave me the weirdest look that confused me.  She shook her head in confusion and answered with, "Uhh... sentimental?"

I was kind of weirded out by her reaction so I just nodded my head and accepted the answer as is, thinking that she simply misunderstood.

For some reason, my memory brought me back to that moment and I decided to look up the definition of sentimental and came up with "love affair."  To my horror, I realized that this whole time she thought I was asking her for the translation to "horny."  I'm pretty sure she looked at me like as if I was some creep for the rest of my time in high school after that.
TL;DR: 
Asked Spanish teacher to translate "Corny." She thought I asked for translation of "Horny." Got an awkward look and probably the label of creep for rest of my life according to her.
