Question

Even when an English-speaker is conducting international business in the United Kingdom, confusion can occur. Can you identify which one of these usages in the United Kingdom is incorrect?

		"Your wife is very homely" means she is warm and friendly
		To “table a motion in a meeting” means to put it at the head of the agenda.
		The British pound is affectionately known as a “loonie.”
		People in the United Kingdom put their luggage in the “boot” of the car rather than the “trunk.”

Answer 1

The British pound is affectionately known as a “loonie."

This is not at all correct because loonie is affectionately referred to as the currency of Canada. The usage of this term is hence not appropriate in the United Kingdom.
