Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes use "horny" when they only mean "excited" or "happy" (for example, saying *"I am horny for my trip"*). This is incorrect and sounds rude because "horny" almost always refers to sexual desire. Use "excited" or "looking forward to" for non-sexual situations. Also, "hornet" and "horn" are unrelated in meaning here, so avoid confusing them.
