I do SO love English-isms.

    Over there, if you stay at a hotel and you want room service to come and 
awaken you by knocking on your door in the morning, you tell them the time -- 
let's say 7:00 AM -- and you just say, "Knock me up at 7:00 AM."

    Over here, that phrase has a TOTALLY different meaning ...
Here after a huge dinner say like Thanksgiving it's normal to hear someone 
say "I'm stuffed".. Over there it has a whole non related meaning to food. 
lol..
