\"britishunderwear\"<\/a>Oy, mate. Have you ever gone to Britain and found out the awkward way that some words mean different things there<\/a>? For example, if you called someone \u201cspunky\u201d across the pond, they’d look at you like you were batty (find out why below). Here are 9 American words that have a very different, very naughty meaning in Britain.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Trump<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: The potential next president. What it means in Britain: A fart. As Buzzfeed says, \u201cAmerican people entertaining the notion of ‘President Trump’ is akin to the next British prime minister being called David Fart.\u201d A lot of people think Trump is full of hot air, so it’s actually not that absurd.<\/li>\n
  2. Spunky<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: Feisty; spirited; plucky. What it means in Britain: Covered in semen. So probably not a good idea to refer to your grandma as \u201cspunky\u201d there!<\/li>\n
  3. Cop<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: Police officer. What it means in Britain: To grope, i.e., \u201ccop a feel\u201d of a boob, a willy, or a bum.<\/li>\n
  4. Randy<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: A dude’s name. What it means in Britain: Extremely horny. Randy is randy, baby!<\/li>\n
  5. Pants<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: Trousers. What it means in Britain: Panties, i.e., knickers. So if someone yells on the street, \u201cPut your pants on!\u201d it has an even naughtier meaning.<\/li>\n
  6. Fanny<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: A butt or ass. What it means in Britain: Pussy.<\/li>\n
  7. Pull<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: The opposite of push. What it means in Britain: To kiss (or snog) a stranger.<\/li>\n
  8. Knob<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: A handle of a door or drawer. What it means in Britain: Cock or dick, as in \u201cThat guy in the speedo has a massive knob!\u201d<\/li>\n
  9. Muff<\/b>
    \nWhat it means in America: Something warm you put over your ears. What it means in Britain: A woman’s pubes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Are you randy for some fanny or knob? Come bring your spunky pants our way, mate<\/a>!<\/p>\n
