A cry for help!

Hey, majority of watchers!

You're American, right? /obvious

I'm doing a project at college (what, Pidge, are you actually working? Yes, yes I am) about the differences between British English and American English. I need some stereotypically American phrases and amusing miscommunications. (Unfortunately I can't use the usual "rubber vs rubber" that first came to mind.) Any random help would be appreciated.

Additionally, anyone Australian, similar to the above request?

/feels kind of stupid

/wishes she was at home instead of in this stupid class

orz

Edit: I'm not allowed to include anything naughty in my essay guys, the examiners are stuck up. :| So stuff like the difference between "wank" in American and "wank" in British are not applicable. <3 You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

You mean 20th century? XD My god, my dad tried to say "lol" the other day and my sister and I just looked at him until he got all uncomfortable and asked if it was in the wrong context.

I tried out "do svidanya" once. It failed. >> Nobody understands or recognises Russian.

And Blackadder. Blackadder and everything Stephen Fry has been in ever. But that might just be because I'm obsessed.
