British English: fag=cigarette
American (and Canadian) English: fag=fag

Yeah it shocked me the first time I went to England and my girlfriend's brother asked me if I had a fag!

 

[Nonskimmer]

Yeah, the same sort of thing happened to me.
I was like: "What did you just say?!"

It's a similar story when my friend's wife said that she got drunk once at a party and slipped on her fanny.

There was this long silence, and a piece of tumbleweed blew past.

It don't mean here what it means there!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

What does it mean there. I know when I was dating that British girl, everytime I said I was going to put my pants on she would laugh because she said that pants were underwear there. Its wierd I guess.

 

[Medvedya]

Urmmm..... Well, put it this way, over here, only the girls have fannys.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ah okay

 

[Nonskimmer]

Another one I didn't know!

Its even worse
Pants is the term normally given to womens underwear, mens are referred to as underpants

 

[Nonskimmer]

My 'Brit' is even rustier than I thought! Oy!

Urmmm..... Well, put it this way, over here, only the girls have fannys.
