Today, my friend showed off her new tattoo, which is supposed to say "bad bitch" in Italian, and I had to point out that it actually says "defective female". Her response was to cuss me out and inform me that I'm no longer part of her social circle. FML

Haha sounds like an episode of jersey shore

She was never your friend to begin with if she couldn't take an honest opinion from you

#5 how did she deserve it? Sounds like she was simply pointing it out so the "friend" wouldn't be embarrassed later when she found out the true meaning of the tattoo.

It should of translated into "trashy bitch"

I love how people think that English slang translates into other languages. It doesn't. There's probably a term that means roughly the same thing, yes, but translating directly from English will not work.

That's right! I speak fluent Greek and there are so many words/ phrases that cannot be directly translated to get the same effect. Plus hardly anyone with a foreign-language tattood on their body can pronounce it with the right emphasis. For example the word malaka, depending on how you emphasize the letters means 'soft' as in the opposite to hard. In saying that, in English we use soft to describe people too "****, he is a soft ****" in Greek that wouldn't make sense... Well I guess it could kinda mean "he is a very soft/delicate ******" - sounds funny but stupid. Going back to malaka - it can also be pronounced to mean "a ******* moron". So, there you go- never get a tattoo of a different language unless you have at least a moderate understanding of it - otherwise it would look bad... Bitch.

At least it wasn't in Chinese. People who get Chinese tattoos are usually a little douche-y if China and it's culture mean nothing to them. What kind of tattoo is "bad bitch" even in her native language?

Ahh literal translations between languages. :) Just be glad you can't read Chinese, I can only imagine what people are walking around with. :P

Of course you can't be in her social circle . . . you know too much.

Bad Bitch, Defective Female, TomAto, TomAHto

Her fault for getting a tattoo in a language that she doesn't even know.
