Cringe!Chickenlady winces, "I told a Hugh Grant/Divine Brown joke to my dad, pretending that Ms Brown was chewing gum so she'd be more American. Instead I just appeared to be still giving the blow-job. Even as I'm writing this I'm cringing inside."
Tell us your cringeworthy stories of embarrassment. Go on, you're amongst friends here...

Oh lord, I just went red thinking of thisabout 10 years ago while trying to make a bit of extra cash, I had a job walking around Berlin, going into cafes and asking if I could hang up a theatre poster (advertising the latest English language travesty).
My German wasn't up to much, so I could just ask "darf ich ein Plakat aufhängen? (Can I hang up a poster)" and point to the poster.
I went into one bar and the person behind it was very camp and very flirtatious. I asked him if I could hang up the poster and he said something like "yes of course darling, you can hang it on the toilet door - Ladies or Gents, it's up to you" and gave me a big theatrical wink.
Feeling saucy, I grinned, leaning forward and said in my most charming/flirtatious way possible "I'd prefer the Gents *giggle*".
Actually, that's what I attempted to say.
What actually came out in German was something like "I love men *giggle*".
So instead of sounding like a flirty, good-time homo, I just sounded a bit scary and utterly retarded.
