Can I just point out that Numpty (n. a stupid person) is not a British-ism, or even a Scotticism, it's a Glasgow-ism? Apparently originating in the shipyards of Govan and Scotstoun, it means something along the lines of a particularly stupid turnip (turnip - tumshie). It was made famous by one-time Glasgow Govan MP and former shipbuilder Jim Sillars, who described the Scottish electorate as "a numpty nation". Sillars was defeated at the next election. What a surprise.

the rate at which a fart reaches the noses of others in the room. It is directly related to the speed at which you can blame the dog.
I reckon a majority of Yanks think any English-speaking Caucasian without a North American accent is British. Besides you Bloody Poms pinched most of 'em from us Aussies.

It's true...nearly everyone says "No Worries'' now.
I didn't really pick up any Aussie phrases when I went to Australia although my Aussie girlfriend tried her best to drum some into me. I do love the phrase: "He's parked a Tiger" though...and you've done a great job of re-creating Wales in a better climate.
