IluvAbrit said she did not understand what ' like a fish' meant when used in the context of drinking. So how about adding a few more so that we are better understood (if that's possible). Not to over-kill by one person I'll offer these two.

Just this week I’ve used two expressions in the office that my co-workers have asked me to translate:

“that’s a pile of cack� - it's not very good
“He’ll do his nut� - he will be most displeased

More amusing for me is the fact that even after five years of marriage I can still occasionally come up with a bit of British vernacular that my Mrs has been previously unaware of.

"I'm having a fag" does not mean I have suddenly turned homosexual, it means I am smoking a cigarette.

"I'm taking the piss" does not mean that I have extracted the urine from my bladder and am carrying it somewhere else, it means I am making fun of you.

"I'm making fun of you" means I have a sense of humour. You might want to try it

The company I work at recently hired another English guy( god knows why after me). We were recently in a meeting with an American co-worker and were discussing a serious work issue. The English guy explained that someone was "going to get a right rollocking over this". I explained that our co-worker wouldn't know what a 'rollicking' is, to which he replied "same as a bollocking but not quite as serious"

Rollocking - A severe dressing down
Bollocking - A very severe dressing down.

I said something was wonky at work one night and the girls I work with thought it was hilarious... I am sure they thought I had made it up till one heard it being mentioned on the Harry Potter movie.

Wonky = not right
