This thread has probably provided us with more information than any of us needed to know! I do remember being similarly troubled by the word 'frig' which I used regularly when I worked in computers, but which had a very different (and sexual) meaning when I was growing up.Similarly, I once remembered seeing an episode of Mork and Mindy when a character was called Mr Wanker - I was with my parents at the time and my mother nearly passed out -two countries divided by a common language eh!
