Are there any phrases/words you use which have other meanings elsewhere in the country?

Thinking of the thread about chuggers, we use that as a term for cracking one off!!

Also, sat at a very serious sales meeting in Swindon several years ago where the sales "partner" of the firm was telling us about their new FUD system. Was meant to be a way of dispelling Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt in client's minds when we introduced our spanking, new methodolgy. We use FUD in Scotland to describe female parts and less than intelligent males!!

This is a bit off topic but the "Lost in Translation" title reminded me of something funny that happened to me a few years ago. I was working for a local garage when the owner asked me to send an email to a female CEO of an Italian company regarding the purchase of an auto gas system. The last line of the email was a polite & respectful thankyou etc etc. I used an online translator to convert the email into Italian & sent it. Out of curiousity I used another online translator to convert it back into English just to see if it worked.

The bulk of the email kinda made sense in broken English but the last line read "I have much love & sperm for you!"

My boss never got a reply.

NATO forces in Bosnia used a fleet of 4x4's to get around, and used to sell them off at auctions to the locals when they were being replaced.

One time they didn't get any interest, and then found out that the particular name of this model was very similar to an insult in the local lingo lol!
