It got me wondering. I'm sure most all know the different meaning of the word Faggot between England and the States
but how many other words have such a different meaning and could be misinterpreted?
A good friend from England was in a bar in the states. It was a busy bar and he got in front of a microphone and called to his mate who was getting some drinks, "Hey bring a couple Faggots back too!"
He immediately realized what the other people in the bar thought, since it went pretty quiet, and explained.
