"Root" in Aussie-speak has a certain sexual connotation.

Now they really can get confusing! In particular their transparent  
sticky tape -- which in England is called by the trade name  
"cellotape" -- uses a different trade name: "durex" which we use to  
refer to condoms (or rubbers to you Americans).

Not only confusing in the shops, but the thought of getting the two  
mixed up sound painful too.
