[Beth]

We host exchange students. This is really their moment. Most are European and have learned British English. Several years ago, one young man went to school, leaned over in class and asked the young lady next to him if he could borrow her ‘rubber.’ To him, in British, he was asking for an eraser. In American (for those unfamiliar with our slang), a rubber is a male’s device for preventing pregnancy. Definitely an embarrassing moment. From now on, I try and remember to warn our students NOT to do that!
