How about those words that are spelled the same but mean different things depending on which English speaking part of the world you are in? In America, "flat" is something you will become if you call someone a "fag". In the UK I have heard that many people smoke a "fag" in their "flat".

isnt a "flat" basically the same as a "bachelor pad"

And Calum dodgy is an unknown for many people over here - meaning to be like a used car dealer stereotype, with slightly humerous undertones.
