In Romanian, "prince charming" literally translates to "pretty fetus".

In my experience, Romanians tend to react to being confronted with this fact by going quiet for a while and then trying to tell you that this is not strictly incorrect but there's more to it, and then they try to explain it away and then they go quiet again.

Just did it to a Romanian friend and I could just see the writing dots on the screen for a while. Success

I swear, it's the exact same reaction every time. It's amazing, like a culture-wide Manchurian Candidate activation code.
