That's one of my favorites as well. The verb embarasar means "to impregnate," as my high school Spanish class learned when, during someone's presentation about her summer vacation, she
tried to say that she'd accidentally bumped into (literally, they were both jogging) a male teacher over the summer and the experience "embarrassed" her.
Our teacher's response was something along the lines of "I don't see how; it should have taken more than just one bump!"
