"To table" has opposite meanings in Britain and the USA, which
causes no end of confusion to Canadians. It also caused confusion
in WWII, until the various committees of Brits and Yanks discovered
that one was trying to put aside what the other just agreed to talk
about. I can't remember which side wanted to talk about the "tabled"
matters.
