Default Re: Euro (mostly British) Phrases that are catching on in the U.S.?

Daft is common around Boston.

"Going like the clappers" was used when I worked for a British firm at a US plant (The production line is going like the clappers to meet forecast).

I notice a number of my colleagues, when refering to a company, will use the plural, e.g. Federal Express have a new advertisement out.
