June's OT Board Dictionary Launched (was Brittspeak)

[Tim Regan]

Hi All,

--- In HPFGU-OTChatter Tracy added:
> How about  Way Out for Exit  

And there's `pissed' which means drunk in England and angry in 
America (we'd say `pissed-off' in England to mean angry).

And another that caused me some trouble is `bollocks', which means 
testicles in England but has come to mean nonsense. Soon after 
starting my job in America I was in a meeting where someone's 
argument was obviously rubbish. So I said "That's bollox" to which 
my future boss turned to me and she asked "Tim, what's a bollock?" 
It was a tricky moment.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
