hehe Just another Anglo term that is TOTALLY OPPOSITE to it's meaning in America -

If someone was to say "Want me to knock you up?" to a Brit they might say "yes, at 8am sharp, please." Say this to an american woman and you have a distinct chance of entering new realms of pain.

Ask "You want to get pissed?" to an American and they would look at you and ask "What is going to make me angry??"
