One of the funniest outtakes I've ever seen was of the show House M.D., where Chase (an Australian) flubbed a line and exclaimed, "Oh, bollocks!!!"

That said, the Britishisms that bug me the most are "pins" (referring to a woman's legs), "heavily pregnant" and "fell pregnant". Come on, how do you "fall" pregnant? (insert smart@$$ comments here) And what if you're only 2-3 months along? It's not "heavy" yet, unless you're carrying an elephant or something. Sheesh.

My least favorite Britishisms: the pronunciation of the word “pasta” (dreadful) and the phrase “Thank you very much INDEED.”

Hey, if those bug you, try the hard stuff: Rhyming Slang. Apples'n'pears, trouble'n'strife, frog'n'toad (stairs, wife, road). Other examples: someone mentioned in the article is ginger, it should be used with caution as it has a meaning in rhyming slang, Ginger Beer (GBLTQAA..). Likewise the commonly used insult "berk" was short for Berkshire Hunt so was actually a lot ruder than thought. All good stuff for slinging insults undetected ;-)
