Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

In CanadaA friend and me were in a car driving back from a bar with two of our Canadian friends (one of them being the driver). My friend blurted out,
"God, I'm dying for a fag."
It took him a while to click since the three of us were pissing ourselves over the cross-cultural slang.
If you don't get it, a fag in the UK is a cigarette, whereas a fag in the US/Canada is a gay.
