I'm cracking up. If there was a RLG/SBA convention, I could totally see this happening!

Multiple continents, divided by a common language.

Another one to tread careful with is fanny. That does't always mean what you think it does.

Multiple continents, divided by a common language.

Another one to tread careful with is fanny. That does't always mean what you think it does.

But knowing the differences makes the position of “fanny packs” more logical in lands where it means the butt.
Packs are often in front, men or women,

"Root" is another one to be careful with.

To Americans (and maybe others), 'rooting' means cheering/encouraging/supporting/etc, but to Australians 'rooting' means fucking/screwing. Sexually and metaphorically.

Examples and translations:
Get rooted = get fucked/screwed.
Go root yourself = go fuck yourself.
Rootable = fuckable.
It's rooted = it's fucked (broken/busted/etc).
A good/bad root = a good/bad fuck.
That person is a good/bad root = that person is a good/bad fuck.

You get the idea...

A couple of exceptions though - I don't think I've ever heard 'root off!' or 'root this/that!'

I have to go now, there's a big football match this weekend and I hope to be rooting my favourite team...

A couple more exceptions: I've never heard 'root you!' (unless it's preceded with 'I want to' or 'i'd love to' etc.) or 'root my life!'.

So go and root your boot!
