I am English, and have found that ever since using this site my vocabulary has changed dramatically! Well, my knowledge of vocabulary has at least.
Before Y/A I had no clue what jell-o, jam or a Limey was.
What British words or phrases have YOU learnt since Y/A ?

You had never heard of jell-o or jam? I take it you never went shopping or looked in the cupboard/refrigerator all that often. Jam is what I put on toast and bagels since I was old enough to hold a butter knife (among other things, of course) and Jell-o was advertised on television by no less a celebrity than Bill Cosby for those who didn't enjoy this translucent, springy treat themselves.

I'm Canadian,but very familiar with British slang because my parents are British.I love seeing British people taking about bands like Sugababes and Atomic Kitten because most Canadians and Americans have no clue who these bands are.

If you were a rhino, I might consider answering that question. No way, never will I ever answer a question asked by a hippo. Especially a pink one. Bad Hippo!

I have heard product names that I didn't know existed. Interstate Batteries, Dennys (fast food chain I think). I have heard the term "shiv" a lot but have no idea what one is.
