Re: Same word, different meaning Hi Mark,
a fag: UK - cigarette US - a homosexual
a fanny UK - slang for women's genitalia US - backside
pants UK - underwear US - trousers
hood UK - type of hat US - front of the car (the bonnet in UK)
trunk UK - elephant's 'nose' US - rear of the car (the boot in UK)
I'm sure there are loads more but just off the top of my head that's all I can come up with.
Cheers
