If you read back, I think we already have.

When I was in the Army we would hand-off a target to an attack helicopter.

They told us never to use that term with Brits.

I would indeed to be careful not to use this term otherwise you may be deemed a "rugger bugger" type and before you know it be in a middle of a "scrum" playing as a "hooker", with some sweaty 20 stone prop forward cuddling you.

"Hand off" is a rugby term where a player would use his hand to stop another person tackling him. Not aware it has any other hidden meanings, happy to be educated otherwise.

Rugby is a game a bit like American Football except its played without full body armour,the ball must be played backwards unless it is kicked forwards, and the players stay on the field for more than 2 minutes before going off for a rest, It is also played by other countries notably Australia and New Zealand who are all better than England
