I'm American. :-P

We do have a completely different set of slang over here (not to mention lazy spelling)

Mind you, I love the phrase, but I'm not sure how many people over here would get it if I used it.

And, by the way, I <3 your icon!!!

Well, yes, I know that - but I do try to avoid holding it against you!
