Some that I have heard,

On an Irish ship, the Irish pennant is known as "the Saxon Flag"

Sweedish desiel (how ever you spell it.) is oars.

Norwigen chainsaw, and axe.

Cork boots, the boots with all the little spikes on the bottom for working on logs.

Then there was a whole bunch, that you don't want to use anymore.
