Default Divided by a common language

My friend Jack, visiting Australia. Finished a meal, pushed
away and announced "I'm full!". The Aussies started
laughing. Finally he figured out that "I'm full" was slang
for "I'm pregnant".

could get used to Americans saying they were "stuffed"
following
a large meal or, for that matter, the expression "Stuffed
Shirt".
