Seriously people, chill. Just because we haven't run across a term from another country doesn't mean we're totally self-centered Americans.No one knows everything (even our esteemed John Farrier). I'll bet there are a lot of American colloquialism's that seem strange to Europeans (and Africans and Asians and Australians.....)
Brilliant! I feel like such a boob when I come out of the subway and cannot figure out where I am. Of course, I am a total boob for not knowing--but I don't want others to know, too!
Tunes for two. Thanks!
