There’s a really funny scene in a Canadian standup routine that hits the nail on the head.
A Canadian is talking to a British person and the British person is ranting about how he hates a town near him, and then asks the Canadian who he hates.
“Rogers?”
Then the Canadian realizes that “to roger” means something completely different in British.
“Oh yeah, if you go to (town name) you’ll be rogered for sure!”
“Never mind, he knows exactly what I’m talking about.”
(The actual show is obviously funnier than my description here. I’d post the clip, but can’t find it.)
