My favourite adopted American-ism is "drink the Kool-Aid."

I've no idea what Kool-Aid is, but I like the sentiment.

You can buy it in packages from Safeway etc. Add water and sugar if required shake or stir and voila Kool Aid. Comes in all sorts of flavours and colours.
I refuse to subscribing to drinking the CBSAs Kool Aid as its certainly not sweet enough for me:lol:

Keep drinking the Kool Aid and everything will be ok.
