i'd like to know what some of the diff are, i'm planning to go to england soon and i don't want to embarass myself by saying something innocent (for a US english speaker) that could possibly mean something else to a british english speaker.
a good example of this would be how, "pants" to us mean trousers... while "pants" to brits, mean underwear.
p.s. i was wearing a hat that had the O.C.C. logo on it with the lettering "orange county chopper" and i was informed that the word "chopper" meant penis... is this true or were they pulling my leg? (a chopper to US natives is a type of motor bike, it can also be a name for a cleaver knife)
