Looks like I'm a little late in this thread, as most of the points have already been covered.

Slang terms which can mean something offensive in one place and something quite innocent in another are quite common. Like the very old joke about a British steward on a cruise ship asking the attractive young American lady, "Would you like to be knocked up in the morning?" shocked

Most people in Britain these days are aware of the alternate meaning so that one's probably not an issue anymore, but there are quite a number of others.
