1. It's a substitute to calling them a wimp, pansy, or as the Americans say 'pussy', or someone who backs out of things a lot.Originally Posted by YukiKiro
2. Only the Londoners speak that. So perhaps about 10-14% of people.
Depends on how you meaqn 'pick it up', do you mean to understand it? If so, then it's pretty easy.
3. Cricket is a major sport here to people who really like it, but that's not that many people. Football is the major sport in England.

We'd say "Set the table." here instead, I think. Isn't "Big girl's blouse" rhyming slang?...once you figure out that idea, it isn't hard to figure out that mouse is the word being rhymed.As for darn, it's a more polite alternative to damn...as for driving on the right or left hand side of the road, it has to more to do with wagons and cargo than swords, which by the way, you would want the other guy to be on your right, so you could whack him or block with your sword in your right hand..nothing to do with stealing, everything to do with self defense...In early America they had wagons without a driver's seat, so as to carry more cargo. The driver sat on the left rear horse so he could use the whip in his right hand to lash the horses, and since he sat on the left, they moved to the right when passing another cart so they could make sure the wheels didn't collide. In england, the driver sat on a seat mounted on the wagon usually on the right side of the seat so the whip wouldn't hang up on the load behind him when he flogged the horses. There's a reason for almost everything, and getting rude about little nitpicking differences is just plain stupid.
