Love the Brits' vocabulary

Been in the UK alot on business these days...finding that I am incorporating some of the British lingo and expressions into my speech.

Example 1: When somebody does something well, the Brits respond by saying "brilliant".

Example 2: Somebody has a bit of rough and tough day, they talk about how "their day was just shattered".

Example 3: Good buddies and nice guys are "good blokes" or "nice chaps".

Example 4: Somebody is "top shelf" when they are top notch or good at their job.

Example 5: Something is all "bloody, well, and good" when speaking about something in a slightly exasperated tone....and it's really not all well and good.
