Ah, but another UK meaning is to wake someone up by knocking on their door. So, if you tell a girl you will knock her up in the morning it's a double entendre. I think we create those on purpose, LOL! If Brits use a phrase in a dodgy sense don't assume we don't also use the exact same phrase to mean something innocent, because we so often do.
