    The most confusing abbreviation is Ms for Massachusetts (not Mississippi, which is Mp). Guidebook

    From racism to homophobia?

    fag means cigarette in British English slang, so this has a double meaning, depending on where you are from. So if you want to fly Fuji, you can’t, they’ve all gone for a faaaaaaag, innit!

    I got picked on the US when I said I was going out for a fag. Back then I didn’t realise what that meant Stateside.
