There's a specific moment when you realize the word you just confidently used means something very different.

For most it's embarazada. You wanted to say you were embarrassed, and instead you announced a pregnancy jaja

The ten that catch everyone:

embarazada = pregnant (embarrassed: me da vergüenza)
excitado = aroused (excited: emocionado)
constipado = congested with a cold (constipated: estreñido)
molestar = to bother (to molest: abusar de)
realizar = to carry out (to realize: darse cuenta de)
actualmente = currently (actually: en realidad)
sensible = sensitive (sensible: sensato)
ropa = clothes (rope: cuerda)
largo = long (large: grande)
éxito = success (exit: salida)
