dancc,
Some expressions in use today in UK/Ireland came from GI's over here during WW2.
Later expressions from the US TV (that's television) shows influenced our younger generations.
Many others sayings in America date back to the days of Irish/Scottish/English immigrants, for example 'Fall' as in seasons, is the original English expression for what we here in UK/Ireland as Autumn.
Many of the city and town names in both America and Australia come from British/Irish town names copied in the 'New World' by homesick immigrants.
