    "Is that your campsite or mine?" -- "If I ask this, maybe she'll invite me into her tent! And then, I can inch a bit closer, and....MMMM." (Preferably if that last part is spoken with a creeper-ish grunt)

    "Hey, you've got a little spinach stuck in your teeth. You might want to floss that out before the meeting."
    (This one is pretty direct, so I want to see how it can be twisted)

    (Not sure what joggers are as I'm not in the UK, but I'm assuming they're sweatpants that you wear when you go to the gym or out for a jog)

    What was meant: "Oh! So...you think it's appropriate to wear joggers in a workplace setting? Did you miss the part in the employees' handbook where they talk about the dress code? Oh my...."

    What was said: "You have a very trendy style."

    Actually I am not from the UK either, I'm an Aussie. We use the term 'runners' here. I just said joggers to allow everyone else to undterstand... Ha ha, I should have stuck to runners :)
