Years ago, I had a friend traveling in Canada (nothing disparaging, Lauren, just a critical part of the story). He was staying in an upscale hotel, having breakfast. He wanted a refill on his coffee and told the waiter to "warm up" his cup. The waiter looked at him quizzically, took the coffee cup and saucer, and then brought it back with the same amount of coffee in it. He had done what the customer wanted: he "warmed up" the cup.
