The first time I went to the UK from the States I was mad about some vendor
or something and walked into the office at 9am and loudly pronounced how
"pissed" I was. I quickly learned US=mad UK=drunk. After that when I
traveled I refrained from any colloquialisms until I learned the lay of the
land. This worked until, being exhausted from jet lag I turned down drinks
in Japan and highly insulted my Asian co-workers. Well I tried....
