As a matter of fact, it could be another meaning of deadline
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/due+date
However, true story here, when I was in a graduate school party and I was not aware there was one woman who was expecting. SO, when one of faculty asked her when was her due date (意指何時生小孩),
and I thought
she was asking me (you know, in the party group, plus noses, distraction and all that in the party).
I thought she asked when we had to
turn in the final paper for one prof's class....oh...well...only I could say that was very embarrassing moment.
That was more than 10 years ago. Now I am able to joke around under this kind of case.
Anyhow, be aware of the situation when someone asks this kind of questions, nothing serious though, unless...hum...
due date: 預產日
繳費日
交報告日
(總之是,你欠啥而該交啥的日子囉)
