Just keep it in mind when any of your British friends tell you something you did was "quite good".

I knew a guy who went to London and came back with his ego pumped up because: "Over there all the women called me 'Love'."

Some things just don't translate into the American mind.

Speaking of British terms, does anyone know what "Flippy Hatday" means?  The first time I heard it, I thought I misheard Happy Birthday, but then I heard it a few more times and have seen it written.  For a while I thought it was a silly way of saying Happy Birthday, but I recall two people greeting each other with "Flippy Hatday", so now I'm just going with it being a cute way of saying hello, perhaps alluding to tipping one's hat in greeting.
