That's also a UK favourite.

I read the slang list and often think there are some that sound American and others that definately sound British, so I guess there's a mix of both in that list.

I did once see a list of kiwi expressions for Americans. At least you could tick those off as being unlikely to be commonly shared. I wonder where I saw it.
