This will probably not be interesting to most of you, but I always find language quirks interesting... For instance, I figured out that they use the phrase "catch him (or her) up" in both the same way we do (as to tell someone what he/she missed), but also they use it in a different way--to catch up with someone. Like if you were chasing someone on the street, and you caught up with her, you would say "I caught him up."
Also, instead of saying, "I have dibs" on something, they say "I bags" here...Interesting, no? And mimosas (the drink) are called "bucks fizz."
Random facts of the day! :)
