Be careful what you say

[possibletarian]

If I was to use the word "theatre" with an American, it would be understood to mean "what was the last movie you watched?"

Just don't ask that of one with a British accent, because they might have had a bad hospital experience recently.

Your turn.

I'm from the U.K. I've never thought of the word theatre to mean an operating room (outside of a hospital context)

Theatre means a place where you see a play or something to me

If you're a man, do not say this in a bar in America

"I'm pissed and going for a slash"

And never ever say in the south ''I'm going for a fag''
