With mine, dishes got to be noticeably soapy smelling, especially plastic ones, and especially if you microwaved it. It was very off-putting to me, which is why I looked into it to see what was happening. I was already running the extra rinse cycle, so there weren’t a lot of options left.
This isn’t all that uncommon. For example, from an obituary for the famous Hollywood actress Lauren Bacall:
>The name Lauren was given her by Howard Hawks before the release of her first film, but family and old friends called her Betty throughout her life, and to Bogart she was always Baby.
As an American, if someone made the equivalent mistake in English (“I want to eat cock”—that is, male chicken), I would expect the same sort of reaction to occur. Nobody would take it as a literal request, absent some very specific context clues.
The problem for OP is that the dad may be sensitive to this sort of thing because it is actually possible that OP meant what he said—it’s not like it’s unheard of for someone to mention a celebrity and someone else to bring up that celebrity’s problematic or criminal history. And the dad wouldn’t necessarily have put together it was a translation issue.
