My friend Steve Williams lives in New York and recently drew my attention to UK words and phrases that mean nothing in the US. Things like “Skint”, “Knackered” and “Bob’s Your Uncle”. However, this is probably the best example of Britain and America attaching very different meanings to exactly the same word. Great old sixties tune and the lyrics, one could argue, are even truer in the British sense than they are in the American one.
