In this restaurant sign, written in Castillian Spanish, the first word PIZZERIA is familiar to almost all of us. However, the second word refers to a grill -- *not* to female underwear. So if you're on holiday in Spain and prefer a grilled dinner to a fried one, now you know...

Finally, 'un parking' (a Spanish anglicism) is a car park, not the action of parking a car. For the grammatically minded, they use the gerund (present participle of the verb) as a noun! Conversely, just in case any Spanish readers come along, a bra(ssier) is a 'sujetador'.
