Help Wanted! My Flagmate is extremely angry with me and I don't know why. Could someone please offer an explanation. Here's how it all happened: I was invited to a wedding ceremony for a flagmate of mine. I was very honored to witness the cutting of the cake. As folks were passing around slices, I had to politely decline (as I'm on a diet). However, seeing everyone enjoy the cake so much, I felt inclined to at least give it a taste. So I pulled the groom aside and quietly asked him if I could have a bit. He couldn't hear me over the musicians, so I asked a little louder, "While I can't eat a slice, could I please have a bit?" He looked mildly irritated and I couldn't really imagine why. I assumed he heard me wrong, so I asked again, "Sorry, could I just have a bit." Without another word he complained me to an Ocean Master...he hasn't spoken to me since. Could someone please tell me what I did wrong or why my flagmate is so upset?

Solution
The groom did indeed here the man correctly. However, he misunderstood the meaning of "bit". As a pirate, he naturally assumed the man meant a "bit", as in "one eighth of a piece of the Spanish dubloon...or PoE." It didn't take long for the groom to complain about a man at his wedding begging for money.
