Re: Euro (mostly British) Phrases that are catching on in the U.S.?
I'm a southerner and have heard 'guv' and 'guvnah' used a few times, normally by the lowest of the working classes, usually in the pub as a greeting. Don't hear it that frequently though.
'Chief' and 'skip' I've heard here and there too. Don't northerners use 'me' instead of 'my' a lot? As in 'You should see me new motor' Saying that, we never use the term 'auto' to refer to a car. We call it 'car', 'motor' or 'wheels'. Also, what about using the word 'fit' to describe attractive birds

Re: Euro (mostly British) Phrases that are catching on in the U.S.?
me and my roomate use the word "minga" a lot. I also use the word "telly" all the time, but no one else I know does. I've been known to say "[censored] hell" with a British accent after a bad beat (dunno why I started that one).

Question for British people.
Why is the word "absolutely" used so frequently? I also like the terms "dodgy" and "shambolics".
