I love the term "cheeky". The British have such wonderful adjectives, nouns, and expressions!!! And it took me years to figure out that cushion means pillow [/QUOTE]

I grew up overseas around lots of folks from the UK and the Land Down Under and I love some of the idioms they use as well. But it took me forever to figure out what a "floppy" or a "flimsy" meant. Showing my age here, I'm sure, but to me a floppy is a 3.5" (or 5"--really old) disk that went into an old fashioned computer to store data!
