Subject: RE: Folklore: ambiguous colloquialisms ?
I remember being stuck at a Scout camp with a (hired)mini-bus with a flat tyre. Despite my build & youth (at the time) I couldn't shift the wheel nuts.

Fortunately a passing wise-arse pointed out that this make of bus had left-handed threads on one side of the vehicle.
