Literally this was happening this evening. After a long discussion with an English (well, Welsh actually, perhaps that's why) about what "hanging from the rafters" mean.
My interpretation apart from the obvious literally meaning is that you laugh your ass off, but his take on it was that you're pissed. But what does he know, being Welsh and all!
Anyway, he got to see a piece of Swiss culture tonight. And the place is about 700 years old!

Well, he lives in England, but as I said, he's Welsh so what does he know?
