In Florida in 1980 in a bar with my mate who asked the barman for a fag, the lady next to us gave him a very strange look until the barman explained to her he wanted a cigarette.

Many years ago worked in an office with a Yank who used to get very annoyed when someone asked for a rubber ( to remove a one pencil mark) he would scream it’s not a rubber it’s an eraser.
