We had audit team from the USA over, and I can still remember the shocked expression on a young guy's face when I quite innocently asked - "Do you have a rubber I can borrow..." Someone, had to take me aside and quietly explain... then it was my turn to blush!Gill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049133999202608652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144917315320467568.post-33526364323077720852010-07-13T11:11:40.075+01:002010-07-13T11:11:40.075+01:00Thanks for the lovely comments!!
I had wondered ...Thanks for the lovely comments!! <br /><br />I had wondered when I posted this if I had made too big a deal of the rubber / eraser difference, thinking maybe more people already knew about it. I'm really pleased you have all seen the humour in it. Humour has no borders - yey! There are some English / American word differences I just knew might be a step too far... words and phrases we use in this country quite innocently that would be shocking, if not downright offensive if used in the U.S.A. It has made me wonder what words / phrases (other than the one highlighted by Andrea Joseph) that might shock us Brits, but are used elsewhere without the flicker of an eye. It's fascinating. <br /><br />Back to the glossary I think! xLesley Purcellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058895958646533969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144917315320467568.post-77061147035048034492010-07-13T00:50:00.615+01:002010-07-13T00:50:00.615+01:00Fun post!

I laughed when I saw the top title of your post as just a few nights ago we saw a movie and there was a chap who said to his girl friend (who was worried she has prego)"Dont worry, Its all okay we used a rubber" Ha ha ... One time I forgot in my blog that calling my self a knob was not such a good idea (dughhh).
