As I see, didn't know that the English use it that way. Interesting. You learn something new everyday! Thanks for the cultural education/information. I remember when I was in London and someone referred to the "boot" of a car, and I had no idea they meant the "trunk" (in American English). It's all these little differences that makes traveling interesting.
