I think any slang expessions relating to the Old West or cowboys would be unique to the United States, so here goes:\n"Dadgummit! Dagnabbit!" - darn it, confound it all (teenagers don't use these, but they come up in movies or plays about the Old West all the time)\n"up a creek without a paddle" - in this case, it means you are stuck in a bad situation without a way to get out of it, and you pronounce "creek" as "crick" - this is still used once in a while in the Western United States at least\n"Cut him some slack." - Meaning that you need to give someone a breather, or stop being so hard on him. I believe that is related to cowboys roping cattle or wild horses, and if the lariat is too tight it will constrict the throats of or strangle the livestock.\nAlso phrases that relate to American fast food may or may not be used in Britain. For example, "he's three fries short of a Happy Meal" means the guy is not operating with a fully functioning brain, which is a mild insult.

Chambers' book of Idioms is a very good option\n\nOnline, this is a very good site you can check:\n\nhttp://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/\n\n\nGood luck!

How about:\n\nTwice around the block\n\nOR\n\nAs good as New\n\nOR\n\n2nd Time Around \n\nI didn't come up with those btw, but I have heard those names.   I am sure you can also come up with some variations of those to better suit your store.\n\nOh, and lastly, steer clear of Mexico4me who came in here not to answer your question, but to suck you into her wonder tonic selling MLM.  She is the queen bee of spam under the guise of having self proclaimed business savvy.  Too funny.

using a phrase is not a indicator of nationality, sometimes we can guess where a person lives by the words they use, in the US we say elevator and apartment, in England they say lift, and flat.

In American English it is CANNOT, but I think that in British English you can use "can not."

Hmm, there really isn't a difference between being British and English, in fact anyone who's English is actually both. Saying that you are English implies that you live in England whereas saying that you're British could mean that you're English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish (though I doubt anyone from Scotland or Wales would use British over Scottish or Welsh). \n\nPaki is actually a somewhat offensive term used in England to describe people from Pakistan and can be compared to the word 'N ig g e r' used in the USA (though it is nowhere near as bad and doesn't have the history behind it either). \n\nGeezer is slang for describing anyone really (usually a man though) and is used quite alot where I'm from (Manchester).\nPoof is used in place of Gay, and can be a little offensive but its not really that bad, simialr to saying 'he's a fruit' in the USA.\n\nAs for some other slang words, Muppet is used down south alot and roughly means idiot, Pillock is similar but more ofensive, Wanker is quite rude (i'm pretty sure you don't need me to explain that one), Chav/Scally describes young people who wear hoodies and cause alot of trouble, Random is a word used in Birmingham and the midlands and means nothing at all, they just throw it into any sentance, Tosser is again a rude word similar to wanker, Boff is pretty much the same as Geek, Manc (pronounced mank) is short for Mancunian i.e. people from manchester and slag/slapper is the same as 's l u t' in USA. Sorry that most of those were insults but we English like to make as many varied insults as possible :-). \n\nBy the way, If the film you watched was trainspotting or snatch then I think you'll need a slang dictionary to understand all the coloquial terms in them.

Why do the Brits use K after everything and the Yanks not? Because they are from different countries and cultures and their English isn't the same. You can thank Noah Webster.\n\nDon't take it out on us Americans either, the Aussie's have something do to with English butchering too.  \n\nAlso, thanks for posting this, I think you might have saved a few dumb Amer. boys from telling pretty English ladies they have nice fannies.

This a topic about English language, or literally, the English culture? If its the latter, I can almost certainly help you out: I'm from England! I am English! If it's the former, I may not be much use: we spell some words quite differently to you Americans, and we have weird expressions for things!

I got all of them right.  (I've heard the first 2 questions before).  I've got a funny one you can do to someone else.\n\nYou:  Spell "pots"\nThe other person:  "p..... o..... t.... s....."\nYou:  Spell "pots" backwards\nThe other person:  "s..... t..... o.... p...."\nYou:  What do you do at a green light?\n\n*Most people will say "stop".  It's pretty funny :)

Learn how to say it in 4 languages, and start with that.\nOr list a bunch of "foreign" foods common in USA.\nE Pluribus Unum    from coins means one from many, that would work.\nOr say something about the great ingredients in Chocolate Chip cookies--great by themselves, but even better when together!\nGet an A+!!

If you have access to American television shows, watch a lot of them. We don't speak the king's (British) English, which is what is taught in most foreign countries. \nWe use a lot of slang and contractions, among other things. And we also spell and pronounce a lot of words differently.\nReading books by American authors would help somewhat, but you still would not know how we pronounce things, or how we like to run words together.

I propose we change the version of english spoken in the US, and call it American. Being that we are a bigger and meaner country than England, we can bully them and say we speak proper english, but truth be told, English is from England.
