Bloke not Guy
Any grown man who uses the word Guy should get his dick chopped off with a rusty junior hacksaw and then made to lick Rusty Lee's sweaty arse crack whilst frigging the hole where his dick used to be.

Why do they call petrol 'gas' when it's a liquid ?

There is no such thing as 'American-English', there is only English and semi-literate colonials.

Even more so when it is used to refer to a group of people, men and women, as in "hey, how you guys doing". Should actually have their tongues removed and voice box disabled to prevent any further speech.

I think Bojan Mackey has already done that, you need to come up with something more original.

"Shoot the breeze" "Take a rain check"
wtf?
I know quite a few of us voted for Brexit (myself included) but perhaps one of the unintended consequences may be an even closer alliance with the USA and the further bastardisation of our language. It's only a matter of time.

I've had several American bosses (although I worked for a French company) and one of their favourite expressions when there were several questions or issues was " a whole bunch of stuff". Another was "knock it out of the park" when an urgent answer to something was needed.

By the way when they say candy they mean chocolate. In Yorkshire we say bloke, Southerners tend to say chap or gadget don't they?
