Can I get a ride please?
When filling out form today for work, next to the word "sex" was tempted to put "Yes Please!". But instead had to put "female". Humbug.
In New Zealand (Auckland), "sex" is also called "route". Therefore, when one says "Let’s go down that route", it doesn’t mean "Let’s go down that route". It means "Let’s have sex". So when telling a taxi driver which "route" to take, one must make sure one stress "route" as in "route". Not "route" as in "sex". Tricky that one.
In Ireland (Dublin to be precise), "sex" is "a ride". Therefore, one must be careful when using phrases such as "Riding a horse", "Can you give me a ride?" or "I need a ride". Again rather tricky.
In New York (Noo Yaawk), at least it’s more straightforward. "Sex" is "sex". No frills. No confusion.
This is all from my first day at new firm. When I should be discussing my goals/objectives etc etc. As always, somehow the conversation will go down the "route" of getting a "ride".
