Is there more to the word "proper" than, uh, being proper?

AB FAB was fab - I loved that show!

Around the barn we use different words too:

Headstall - Halter

Rug - Blanket

Box - Stall

When Brits "table a motion", it means putting it up for discussion. It goes on the table.

When Americans table a motion, they file it away, take it off the table, and do nothing with it. They get rid of it.

Same expression, totally opposite meaning.

I worked with a British doctor who once asked me for a ""cotton"". He meant a spool of thread.

Poussin = Cornish game hen. I was at the checkout one time, with my tray of two of these birds, and they didn't have a price on. The cashier looked it up and announced, "Two fifty for your puss y chickens, love".
