Reminds me of an old Dave Barry story. He was at a radio station in Canada, and the weather man said that it was "eight." He knew this was obviously incorrect, so he asked the guy, who said it was really about forty. Then another guy said fifty. Suddenly the room was full of people shouting out their interpretation of "eight."
Of course the capper was when he said that the scientific definition was "chilly."
