I remember hearing 'leg it'(mostly in baseball) a ton when I was younger, never even considered it was a Euro thing. I'm talking 20-30+ yrs. ago.

Surprised no one has mentioned 'spot on'. I see that all the time on this site, yes from the Americans too. Hear it occasionally out in the wild.

i am absolutely amazed that 'brilliant' doesn't get used in america in the same way as it does in england, that has kinda stunned me

i have never heard anyone say uber aloud.

'spot on' is a good one

the english also say stuff like 'quarter to 5' and 'half 4' instead of 'quarter of 5' and 'half past 4'. i remember those causing confusion at one point

Does half 4 = 3:30 or 4:30?
