Word of a Dif f erent. Meaning~

ATLANTA—Shortly before he found himself in trouble in
the Memphis airport, Peter Townshend, leader of the British
rock group “The Who” said, “I heard it was going to bomb
in New York." At the time, he and his group were on an ;
Eastern Airlines flight here, but when the stewardess over-
heard the comment, the plane was turned around and
searched in Tennessee. It turns out that the problem was
that Britishers and Americans sometimes attach different
meanings to the same wand. Townshend had been talking
about his new album, and was saying that the album was 4
going to sell very well in New York. Townshend was ques-
tioned by the FBI, but was released when he explained.
