I do not even know what it means, since I am one of those speaking broken English only
Anyway, while travelling the world I realised, that some phrases in American sound mortally offensive and terribly rude to the English, while
some phrases we use in everyday English might have the same effect on Americans.
The degree of rudeness which is assigned to a phrase just depends
on geography. Some phrases even have totally different meanings depending on if you are in the US or the UK.
