There are phrases which are the same but mean different things. If a committee "tables a proposal" in the US it kills it, but in the UK, it proposes it

"Try bumming a fag in the US"

I was once on a work trip there and one of my fellow UK colleagues who was openly gay walked down the office towards me and said in a loud voice "Can I bum a fag off you?"

The looks we got were to die for!!
