This is probably going to spark an interesting and informative discussion. Would you mind cross posting it to riters_r_us? or allow me to? One thing I recall from a former conversation about this subject some years ago is that some expressions are not just different from country to country, but also from region to region. Those regional differences are fading due to TV and movies, but they are still there in some places.
