How is it that people from different countries who speak the same language may still miscommunicate?

People in different areas develop different slang phrases, so that a word or phrase that means one thing in your area might mean a totally different thing somewhere else. An example in English is the word "chip" - in the US it means a thin crunchy fried potato slice, but in the UK those are called "crisps."
