Many moons ago, I was due to take a party of visiting American accountants on a day trip. On discovering that none of them had an alarm clock, I innocently offered to go round and 'knock them up' in time to catch the coach. It was only when they reacted with a horrified 'What! All of us!!!!!' that I realised we really were two nations divided by a common language.

Marvel comics and American kids shows introduced the American language to a wider UK population in the 1970's. However, it was never main-stream. with media everywhere now, i see the everyday intrusion of Americanisms into the English language by mainstream media.

My sister-in-law in Australia referred to her "Thongs" and I had a vision of her adorning skimpy underwear exposing her rump but alas she was referring to flip-flops which are known by that word in that faraway country. Edited by Willo (17 Feb 2020 9.01am)

Edited by Willo (17 Feb 2020 9.01am) In Australia, the word 'boo' means 'to return' as you will find out if you throw an ordinary meringue!
