(In the supermarket car park, where trolleys can only be released by the use of a pound coin, retrievable later when you return it.)
What we say: Can I borrow a pound coin off you for the supermarket trolley?
What we mean: I can't be bothered to root around in my handbag, and anyway, men always carry loose change around in their pockets...
What is says about us: I'll forget to return the pound coin to him of course, and he knows it would be a bit petty to ask for it.
