The pen is mightier than ... (Spanish/Italian)
In English it is a pen. In Italian Penne pasta is named for its resembling a pen. However, in Spanish a pen is a boligrafo or pluma. I learned this lesson when I asked a colleague to préstame tu pene. Luckily, my colleague understood that I wanted to borrow his pen, not to know him intimately.
