Shooty kind of place
Years ago while stationed with the army in Germany, we went to the rifle range. That evening with German friends I proudly said in German that I had spent the day in the ³§³¦³ó±ð¾±ÃŸ³ó²¹³Ü²õ. Opa quietly said it was probably the ³§³¦³ó¾±±ð߳󲹳ܲõ as I did not look like I had an intestinal problem and that we were shooting that day.

³§³¦³ó±ð¾±ÃŸ³ó²¹³Ü²õ is a slang term for the loo - not something most people would WANT to spend a day, although it's entirely possible they might have to.
This reminds me of an occasion on holiday when the entertainment team were presenting diplomas for the day's activities. One such activity was pistol shooting, but the entertainer made the same mistake and loudly announced the results of the "scheissen" instead of "schiessen" through the microphone, much to the amusement of the German speaking guests... he quickly realised what he'd done!!
