"Japanese Slip-Up of the Day"

Professor: 

"What are you trying to say?"

Me: 

"'kokoro ga ai de mera-mera shite mo', 
'Even if she's burning with love.'"

Professor: (laughing) 

"No, that's,
'Even if she explodes with combusting fire... in love.'"

Me: 

Japanese is HARD, friends.

"mera-mera" = "exploding in flames"
"mero-mero" = "falling in love"

Burn some incense for me.
