Is there a word that sounds offensive or weird in English from your first language?

The word that means 'you are' in Korean sounds like the N word. One of my biggest fear is getting stoned to death socially by humming a song containing that word mindlessly... 😭

"Parents paid for my college" meaning

If someone tells you that their parents paid for their college degree, do you assume that their parents paid money out of savings/cashflowed the tuition, or that their parents took out thousands in debt for their child under their name, so they pay off the student loans for years later instead of their child? Which one is more likely, since no one seems to clarify which one.

How is it called when someone takes your turn?

For example, you are standing in line somewhere and a desk/counter frees, so now it’s your turn, but the person next to you goes to the desk instead of you. Is there a word for this?

How do you call the person who is ignorant/unskilled in his work?

Hello, everyone! We have an amazing word in Russian "рукожоп", it literally can be translated as "someone with his arms growing out of the ass". This is a completely unskilled, clumsy and ignorant peson, doing his work with terrible results, and he goes "I did it for the whole my life" or "It will be fine anyway". I discovered the word "cack-handed" but don't sure if it outdated. How do you call this peson?

laughing in English is strange to me
