Re:
Hi John, you must be a young fella,
This is a very old expression popularised thru the medium of tv movies, throughout western culture. and many other culures have similar expressions. For example the Japanese "Chotto matte kudusai"......wait a moment/or wait a bit.
Its a human nature frailty to extend a request of time waiting, and have others standing around impatiently waiting for you.
I'm from Australia.
, but have travelled extensively..............get used to people white lying about time waiting.

TU ES FOUTU!!!: merci mais...
Je voudrais remercier a Sylvian pour la reponse concernant l'expression "Tu es foutu", mais pouvez-vous m'ecrire encore une fois sur ce mot:FOUTU. Je ne l'ai pas trouve dans mon dictionnaire, donc je ne sais pas si c'est un verbe ou un adjectif. S'il s'agit du participe passe, alors : de quel verbe???

Re:American English Slang
These are very American, but you could use most of them in a country that speaks British English and be understood. A lot of American slang migrates to Britain through american movies, so people will probably have heared most of these phrases before.
The only ones I had not heared were "Off the hook" to mean "cool" and "Digits". I don't think these would be well understood in Britain or other English-speaking countries.

Re:Re:Useful expressions when you like something
I have never heared 'trip' used in that context. I think I'd probably have heared it if it was a british phrase. I've also checked with an American friend who says he's never heared it either.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's not used in some areas, maybe it's a regional expression.
