I had a great friend who was from Liverpool and was transferred from Europe to the USA about the same time as I was . He wrote a hilarious Christmas letter about the differences in meaning of similar terms between the UK and USA .

One that stands out in memory was the term ‘ Bum a Fag ‘
UK – ‘ Ask for a cigarette ‘
USA – what ‘ Nancy boys do ‘
