Subtiler Phalluswitz oder schlechte Übersetzung: Valentinstagskarte des Amtssprachenwächters sorgt für Aufsehen

It’s not a subtle phallic joke National Post, it’s pretty overt. It would have been caught by any French speaking person. Which makes the online consensus that this is probably an unreviewed machine translation which the organisation vehemently denies.

Also:

> The French version of the card features the same graphic and begins with “Ma queue et mon cœur s’emballent…”, which translates literally to “my tail and my heart get excited when…”.

> The only issue, Francophone internet denizens were quick to point out, is that French term for “my tail” (“ma queue”) is a common slang for a penis.

Not the only issue. You missed the actual double meaning guys. *Emballer* can mean either to excite, or to wrap. So the post can be understood as either getting our dicks excited or wrapped.

When you have around a quarter of the country filed with French speakers, how does one not find at least ONE to translate this?
