Americanisms

Dear Fellow Americans,

If you find yourself abroad the following phrases will sometimes make even a grown man giggle:

"What's up?"

"There you go." (used in the context of "now you understand")

"Knock it off."

"I don't give a rat's ass."

Howard called and asked me to bring something to work. When I asked what was up he promptly burst out laughing and had to calm down before making his request.
