The English language is odd like that. The word anxious generally means worrying or eager.

Luckily i happen to have my Oxford English Dictionary handy tonight and after my earlier faux pas with the jaded debate i think i can redeem myself here.
Anxious means: Troubled and uneasy.
Woop! Best fiver i spent this mini dictionary lol.

In norwegian we call a womans vag "mus" which means mice. Wierd considering it's pussy in england - They're most likely looser and more open over there

Pussy is also kitten in English. :)
No it's not. Kitten is a Kitten and pussy is a word used instead of Cat or put it with cat to make the word Pussycat.

I love the example in Spanish, (though unfortunately with searching i still can't find it) my old teacher told me that the word for handcuffs, (manillas) is the same word for wife...
though esposa is the word for wife, i'm sure there's a synonym for one of the words to add that up.
I loved that one. Classic.
(I'll see if i can find it/if i can be bothered to find it)
