Man Assumes English Word To Be A Hindi Swear Word, Post Sparks Laughter

The Reddit user then explained him about the confusion and the man finally apologised.

A person has taken to social media to share a hilarious incident he faced while having an interaction with his account manager over WhatsApp. He explained on Reddit how the accountant while conversing with him confused an English word with a Hindi swear word. The incident has gone viral sparking laughter among netizens.

According to the post, the accountant asked the Reddit user for a certain invoice as the one he had sent earlier was incorrect. Replying back the Reddit user asks "Sale invoice chahiye ya purchase invoice [Do you want sale invoice or purchase invoice?]." This is where the confusion crept in. The accountant immediately asked him not to use the word "sale" as he mistook it to be a Hindi swear word.

The Reddit user then explained him about the confusion and the man finally apologised.

Sharing a screenshot of his WhatsApp conversation, the man wrote "I was chatting with my account manager, he asked me for an invoice for GST verification. I couldn't stop myself from laughing after I realised that he mistook the English word “Sale” with the word “S***e” (which is considered an abusive word in Hindi), it was embarrassing."

I couldn’t stop laughing after this…

"I first read it as saale ... Then after reading next 2 words I was like : sale hai ye," commented one user on the post.

"Reminds me of an invoice I had got sometime back. The vendor had mentioned "bubble raping" cost there," wrote another user.

"As a child I used to read sale as साले. My mother was very embarrassed when I would point at boards and hoardings of SALE and scream साले साले साले!, commented a third.

"Was having such a bad day today...this made me laugh," wrote a fourth.
