Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'' when the Doctor said "You see what I mean?

In the UK "Domestic" isn't really used to mean "Domestic servant", but rather "Domestic argument" or in this case "mundane and boring". Not that it's used that way very often in most parts of the US, either.

* Played with in an episode of ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'' in which Jack struggles to come up with a name for a mini-microwave which is not offensive in any language.

'''Frank''': They knew what a [[Comic Sutra|"Hot Richard"]] was? }}
