Sometimes the problem is the lack of vocabulary needed to describe a certain situation... Thank you Jo!!

Hi Marlene - absolutely. This is the same as my first reason, I think.. they just haven't learnt that yet!

In Portuguese, we have the word 'embaraçada' that means 'embarrassed' just like in English, it doesn't mean 'pregnant'.
