A guy in my Spanish class told us a very funny story.
He was once in a club in Peru, and a lady asked him in Spanish if he would like to dance.
He replied by saying "si bailas conmigo, serás embarazado".
The lady replied by saying "¿porque? ¿cómo bailas?"
Translation:
What he meant: "If you dance with me, you will get embarrassed"
What he actually said was: "If you dance with me, you will get pregnant"
To which she replied: "Why, how do you dance?"
Moral of the story, embarazado does not mean embarrassed in Spanish. It means pregnant. Verguenza means embarrassed.
