MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

Crappy TranslationI'm from the UK, hubby is Canadian.
When we were first together were having a conversation about what we could get away with wearing to work.
He told me that it was pretty casual - he could wear 'Khaki pants'. In a Canadian accent it sounds like 'Caccy pants'.
I believe the literal translation would be 'beige trousers', but not knowing this at the time I remember wondering if I still wanted to go out with this person....
