Reminds me of the interesting [to me] difference between the U.K. and U.S. meaning of a certain word - which I'm not entirely sure is not too vulgar [in the U.K.] to post here:
In the U.S. it refers to a person's backside. Apparently in the U.K. it refers to a woman's ... "frontside". I wonder how it got two meanings which are so far apart, and yet so close together.

from the old trip to India during the Raj etc P.O.S.H. ie: "Portside out; Starboard home" referred to cabin arrangement on the vessel to and from India and Britain...generally first class passengers in the era before air conditioning was invented. Reportedly, it was marked on the steamship ticket in large letters. It was important in those days to avoid tanning in the sun-very not Pukka Sahib!.
