when i went to do my internship in England, i brought some bags from Vancouver Public Library, VPL.

people in Lincoln were snickering as VPL there means "visible panty line"

take that Mr. OD Spec.

When I was in England for an exchange, the female exchange student I was traveling with and I ended up at the pub with some Brits we met.

We were talking about our travels so far, having spent a week in Paris before getting to London. "I haven't changed my pants in a week" she said. After our new friends finished laughing, one of them kindly explained that "pants" are what Brits call underwear!
