Question:

We have small mint candy's as a give-away at the front desk..
Printed on the wrapping is: "Nice to Minz you" ( Minze is german for mint.. )...

Is there *any* way to understand that in a naughty or slightly dirty way for american or english natives???!!!

( because one of the front desk guys said so.. he's a mr know-it-all.. so that's why I'm asking.. )

I've never heard somoene use mintz in a dirty or pervy way. I assumed it was mint even before I read yoru translation. Is he American or English? Perhaps it's an English slang but I can't say I've heard it here.

The only thing I can assume is if he's reaching a lot and is suggesting you could use mintz as a naughty verb, which in theory is true. In English any verb could be implied to be a dirty verb, but they tend to be related to the actual naughty verb, i.e. 'I forked her'. Mints are just mints and other than using actual mints in a naughty manner I've never heard of them as a porny verb. lol

It certainly doesn't sound like anything naughty...

The only thing I can think of is "mince", which means chopping into small pieces. So scary, maybe? *lol* If there was a picture with a guy with a knife then maybe it would actually be a double entendre and not just... a mint.

Basically, that guy's full of shit. :P
