British Vocab

British figures of speech that I like:

1. "Bits" instead of "pieces" (or sometimes "parts"). As in, "Here are your bits of paper, and here are mine," or "I've only traveled to the warm bits of the United States."

2. "Lot" instead of "group". As in, "You're much more fun than the last lot of Americans."

3. "Come along". As in, "Come along to movie night this Saturday; I'm bringing the popcorn."
