Ancient Greek and English homophones
rasta and and ῥᾷστα in Greek meaning most easily.

Catturo qualche scatto, proseguo per i miei passi e apprezzo le piccole cose belle. (I take a few shots, continue my steps and appreciate the little beautiful things.)

The above Italian phrase is from someone describing an experience. It is quite funny in Greek as it has two bodily functions references. In Greek κατουρώ means "piss" and σκατό "shit".
