I recently listened to a discussion about American English on British talk radio. The conclusion drawn was, that American English just doesn't have any humor. There are no funny American expressions, etc.
The only positive thing that could be said for it was the fact that it's very functional. Someone once said that American is a 'language that rolls up its sleeves, spits in its hands, and does its job'.
Now, I must say I tend to agree with this, but maybe you know of funny words and expressions that are American English.
Ten points for the best quantity/quality ratio!
