Re: British sayings American find funny
Does "getting off your trolley" translate to "getting off you cart" ? I'm not sure it does.
The Great British bake off is bringing a lot of questions to the table.

Never had I been more glad I left the UK than I was sitting in my mum's front room that day knowing I'd be able to escape it soon

Also getting plastered is not the same as getting dry walled. Who would know there were so many ways of saying getting drunk in English. Anyone would think the English drink a lot.

Not sure if you know, but I auditioned for the last 2 years for the Australian Bake Off. Last year I got a call back audition, but this year didn't. I'd much rather do the British one, though. (dreary middle-class stereotype that I am)

I could have watched an entire season of the history of Auschwitz, set to a soundtrack of Leonard Cohen music and it wouldn't have been half as depressing as 45 minutes of that bloody nightmare of a show.
"Oh and here's Poshy McHousewife from the Home Counties making a bun". Meh.

Re: British sayings American find funny
I made the mistake of saying "Hey Ho" to my American sister in law.
She was taken aback and asked if I was calling her a prostitute?
That took a bit of explaining.
