[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3598344, member: 5391"] In the UK, I understand that it is very common to say "I'll ring you up" when we say "I'll call" and our "I'll drop by" to the Brits is "I'll knock you up". A New Testament Greek prof told us one time in class about a Chinese gentleman newly arrived in the USA, who, upon seeing a sign advertising hot dogs was delighted at first because dog is at its' best when it is piping hot.
