Watch that English!

Another crazy thing about coming to England is all the strange words and phrases. My math teacher (they call it maths) says "Chop-chop, get along now!" if he thinks some of us are going too slow. I also heard some of my friends talking about large amounts of "quid", which was a slang word for pounds (as in money). My math teacher always talks about "getting those good marks" which meant "getting those questions right". Here is a list of American to British translations:
