10 British expressions Americans don't use

Here are 10 British words and phrases that I rarely hear in the US, or if I do, they have rather different meanings.

For example, my British ground floor is an American first floor, and my first floor becomes a second floor. Cheers is another one. It can also mean thank you and goodbye in the UK.

And then there are words and phrases like postman and boot and British slang and informal expressions like shirty, plonker, pants, rubber, knock up and taking the mickey.

In this video you'll see the 10 words phrases in action in a comedy sketch and then get explanations.
