On Thursday I got a little reminder that my German is not perfect when, instead of yelling "Who wants to hear my pick-up line?", I yelled "Who wants me to turn them on?" Now, it's not my fault that in German, the direct translation of pick-up line is turn-on line. It is, however, my fault that I used the verb instead of the noun.
Although, come to think of it, "Who wants me to turn them on?" probably counts as a pick-up line. A very, very direct pick-up line.
