I used the expression "it's a piece of piss" at work not so long ago to quizzical looks, and now they all seem to enjoy using it.

Re: English expressions
The idea is to put the meaning to the words otherwise people are going to be none the wiser. I know what your talking about but they don't. Please put explanation as well.

Re: English expressions
'Whingeing' - whining
'I'm frez' - Northamptonshire for 'I'm cold'
'Kick the bucket' - to die
'Pop his clogs' - to die
'Winkie' - kiddie term for girl's genitalia in England, but means boy's genitalia in USA.
'Solder' - the stuff you melt with a soldering iron - apparently is called 'sodder' in the USA, so hubby found out yesterday.
'Pamp your hooter' - As 'hooter' means 'breasts' in the USA, this one causes great mirth, then they say 'Oh, you mean Honk your Horn', which in turn causes us Brits great mirth...
