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.
