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

Wanker, bollocks, [censored]-up, don't get your knickers in a twist, advert, cheerio, cheers (?), ta (as in thanks).

Edit to add: Never heard it used in North American sport (outside of the NFL I guess), but I always liked the expression "Lost a yard" when describing a player who's slowed down from past seasons.
