Exactly. I once made an innocent remark in a chat room about a lollipop - I forget the context now - and this Australian woman went off on me about how I shouldn't say things like that when her boyfriend was listening. (Apparently "lollipop" is an Aussie slang reference to male genitalia.) Christ, I thought I'd never hear the end of it. I explained that I didn't mean that at all, but she went on and on about it until she brought the whole room to a halt.
