Even without knowing Spanish, I can tell that English "embarrassed" and the Spanish "embarrassada" are similar, as are the English "sensible" and Italian "sensibile" and other false friends (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_friend).
Yes, but this is not you saying you are pregnant because you think it's the right word. This is needing to recognise that the words *are* similar without accepting that dissimilar words might be right.
The fact that "baguette" is a loanword from French to begin with is part of why it's funny.
