Now, here are a few terms that have stumped many interpreters I've worked with over the years:

- Co-pay - in many countries, especially ones with national health systems, this concept does not exist, and has to be interpreted as something along the lines of, "the amount you must pay before your insurance will begin to pay."

- HMO - see above. "Health Maintenance Organizations" are corporations financed by insurance premiums subject to certain financial, geographic and professional limits.

- Escrow - An account held by the lender into which a homeowner deposits money for insurance and taxes.

- Slamming - this term is commonly used to describe an unauthorized change from one long distance carrier to another.

- Borough - One of the five administrative units of New York City. Interestingly, this term comes from Middle English burgh, city, from Old English burg, fortified town.

- Rotary - A regional term used in New England to denote what everyone else in the U.S. calls a roundabout or a traffic circle.

- Muffin - The same can be said of many other food items (donut, bagel, fudge, etc.) As is the case with many dishes, there are countries in which certain items are simply not part of the normal diet, so a description has to be used since no exact linguistic equivalent exists in many cases. These terms are more challenging for some languages than others, obviously. They frequently come up in nutritionist/dietitian appointments, especially with diabetic patients.

These are just a few - I'd love to hear from others
