Made a latte for my wife. Did I screw up the latte art? NSFW

I was feeling pretty cocky about my skills until this happened.

Multilingual bonus: in German "Latte" = colloquial for a hard-on

Hahaha no way.

Is it pronounced the same, with the same etymology and it just got used as a slang for erection?

A "Latte" (uppercase L) is the German word for a slat/bar/narrow plank, usually made from wood (compare "morning wood" - "Morgenlatte").

"latte" is written the same, pronounced the same, but is just Italian for milk.

The first usage is way older than the (availability of) the beverage.

I showed the gal I’m seeing that the painters painting the exterior building of my apartment complex painted over my deck railing. This was her contribution.

Hahaha, I hope you remembered how you did that. Not a bad skill!

Did she get the hint?
