okeey, not tooooo sure if I should reveal this, lol, but it's a classic example of the differences (and sometimes embarrasment caused) between UK/US Enlgish..
years ago I was sent to work/live in NYC, to set up a company there for my boss, anyway.. I had not long arrived there when sat in a big meeting with some US business folks, lawyers, blah blah, some big swanky office.. in my business suit etc.. you get the picture.. all quite formal and professional.. when the US exec of a company who was pitching for a marketing contract, suggested I get our company logo put onto "fanny" packs and give them away free across Manhattan..... Well.. apart from almost spitting out my coffee across the boardroom table.. think you've ever seen anyone blush before??? You've never seen anything like I was!! lol
