For the British, if something is a "cracker" it means it is "cracking good"--such as a track on a Jeff Beck album. For Americans, if someone is crackers, it means he is bonkers. But "bonking" for Brits means "humping" for Americans. Go figure (I can't suss it out). Two people separated by a common language.
