I just got reminded of a funny story of my brother,
A few years ago or so, me and my brothers had gotten into afk arena because of an event/collab with the anime Overlord, for a limited you could get two characters from that show on your party if you worked hard enough, I cant remember exactly why but we had to join a guild, so me and my brothers chose an overlord themed guild since they would be fans of it too, but there was something my brothers hadn't taken the time to notice before we joined
The guild was French, so we were 3 Americans who had no idea how to speak French in a French guild, we decided to stay though since it wouldn't get in the way of doing what we needed to do/participating in the guild
Guilds did come with group chats though, I didn't talk much in the chat for the guild since i didnt speak the langauge, just welcomed people when they joined(i think i just copied what the other members said when someone joined in order to welcome them in french if i remember correctly), but one of my brothers actually went through the effort of using Google translate to talk with the members often since he was there and they seemed pretty chill, (it also helped that the game helped translate what people said for you, he just needed Google to translate for his responses), the people in that guild were honestly pretty cool, especailly compared to what most of the player base was like according to my brothers, that honestly was another part of why we stayed
anyway back on topic, I can't remember the exact conversation, but one day my brother was talking with the guild members, I assume one of them had something going on that was probably a bit of a downer for them, because my brother wanted to say "big oof" , like the pain sound "oof", which to us had honestly become just a general response like "that's rough"
so he put the phrase in Google translate, and sent it. My brother had assumed it was universal internet slang that wasn't a proper word in another language with a different meaning, but he was wrong
My brother, in response to someone having a bit of a rough time, had said "big egg" to them, you can probably imagine how confused they were by that response XD
