Lost in translation.
It was movie night in Titans Tower and the group of teenage heroes were watching '300'. About half an hour into the movie it was time for Starfire to fly out to get their pizza.
"She's doing it again." Raven said when the alien had left the tower, the others sighed.
"Seriously, why can't she stop laughing every time the word 'Sparta' is mentioned, it's completely ruining the movie." Beast Boy complained.
"You know why; it probably has some resemblance to a Tamaran word which is why she thinks it's so funny." Robin added.
"But what does it mean?"
"You could ask her-"
"No way Cy, remember what happened last time; when Raven asked why she kept blushing at the word 'Gandalf' when we saw 'Lord of the Rings'?" The changeling asked. Next to him Raven gained an unhealthy shade of green and bolted for the toilet with her hand covering her mouth.
"By the way, what did 'Gandalf' mean?" Robin asked. Cyborg shrugged.
"She muttered something about a Tamaran version of the talk when I asked her." The half metallic teen said with a small shudder before Raven's voice came from the toilet.
"She had pictures Cyborg, PICTURES AND DIAGRAMS."
"...Riiight, I guess some things are better left unknown." The boy wonder said after a few seconds of awkward silence.
Moments later, a loud greeting and the smell of pizza heralded the return of their favourite alien alongside Raven who, though still a bit nauseous, still had appetite for pizza.
