This is definitely not a “Fall” update.
We had to learn the hard way that the British do not think of “fall” as a synonym for “autumn”. That is, by referring to the “fall” while giving church announcements, and then noticing the curious looks on faces as people realize we had uttered yet another North American idiom. The only “fall” you hear about in churches here is the one by Adam and Eve which plunged the world into sin and death.
What’s more embarassing is to talk about “pants” in front of a congregation only to realize that you meant to say “trousers”, because “pants” here are “underwear”. Not that we’ve ever done such a thing 😉
