Hi Everyone,
It turns out that there are still some UK English words that I am not familiar with because I am confident that I would have remembered this one. One of my co-workers, who also happens to be French but was educated in England, turned to me yesterday and asked me if she could borrow a rubber. After receiving a blank stare from me for a second and then an uproar of laughter, her face turned bright red as she realised what the translation was in US English. The word "Rubber" means "Eraser" here in England. I am still laughing about it today.
Cheers!!
